My description:
WHO?
I was born & raised in Kenya. I now reside in the US and have been for the past 15 years. I find it rather hard to box myself up, as I don't fit any typical description in any area of life. For example, one can't say I am a Catholic Christian, even though I was raised a catholic, attend mass, & had 4 years of training towards catholic priesthood. At the same time one can't say that I am Hindu, even though I practice a Hindu based meditation daily, can read & write some Sanskrit & can chant portions of vedic scripture from memory in the Sanskrit language. One can't say that I am an Electronic Engineer or that I am a Philosopher by profession, even though I have bachelor degrees in both. I am now a vegetarian & have not knowingly tasted meat for the last 10 years but then again before that, I loved meat & even prepared my own animals from scratch. Still, one can't call me a health nut. Even though I juice-fast every year for 40 days, I also love food, & will have the occasional glass of wine or beer.
One can't call me a language expert even though I can read & understand & converse quite a fair amount in Spanish, Italian & French, as well as being fluent in English, Kikuyu & Swahili. Nor can one call me a musician even though I love classical music, can read music, sing in a choir & have considerable music aptitude.
I am just me. I earn an average income, certainly below average for my education. I am a spiritual seeker & I am quite open minded. I have almost no worldly ambitions, only because I believe we know so little about where we came from & where we are going. I see our human lives as being born right in the middle of a marathon and most of us start running without asking, "Why are we running and where are we going?" For me the question is, "Why run when I don't know why I am running & where to? Do you?
WHY HERE?
I am not desperate to marry or get "hooked up, " even though I think I would really enjoy a committed partnership with a woman. I honestly & humbly believe I would make a very good partner.
I am definitely a friends-first kind of guy. I believe that a good friendship must be the foundation of a successful relationship, that romantic love is like ocean tide, it comes & goes & cannot be the basis of a committed relationship. If best friends fall in love & then fall out of love, they remain best friends with a firm bond that will hold them till the next tide, if & when it comes. For me, "I like you as a friend" is not only a good thing, it's a prerequisite for a relationship and 70% of the journey. To be bluntly honest, I am alarmed by how people are in such a hurry to mate! Yes I know it's fun, but first things first :-).
On being a vegetarian, I am one because I hate animals. OK, seriously then ... I am vegetarian first for health & then for practical reasons.
Seeking:
Most naturally then I would like a partner who values the things above too. Someone kind, compassionate and who resonates with my stated ways and preferences and the whys behind them. I would love someone whose smile is always within easy reach because life is not long enough to wallow in misery and self pity. I am ultimately seeking a future life partner/wife but I believe the best way is to be very good friends first. I have this great desire to have an exemplary relationship and family and this is a good start. Good luck to you and may your greatest dreams and desires come true, sooner than you think!
