Madroona, 61

I like to look at life from every angle. I hope to remain young the rest of my life. I think every rule needs to be looked at to see if it makes sense. I am honest, ethical, moral and empathetic. I expect the best from those around me. I never accept a wives'-tale without proof. I won't knowingly hurt anyone or anything. Emotion is the only true aphrodisiac, everything else is a substitute that seldom lasts.

I walk through life seeing it differently than many, and cherish the view. If you seek conventionality, safety, conformity and picket fences, i would gently suggest you look elsewhere. If you seek timeless fitness and a certitude that aging and lifestyle are not standardized.. seek me. If honesty rules your world, seek me. If your time is owned by you, this is a crucial link to me.

My metaphor to an ending can be summed up by my vision of us walking hand-in-hand, with only positive thoughts and experiences, you with long hair flowing in the sunshine and a perpetual smile, me with a tan, rolled-up beach pants and a loose shirt, strolling down a quiet street in a sea-shore community in Greece. We are both advanced in our years, but both happy in the knowledge that we have carved out a unique and happy life together as we stroll the world. No words need to be spoken as we take in yet another wonderful life experience, shared between us as equals, already planning the next adventure.

Animal welfare and sustainability have always been very important to me. I have been 90% vegetarian for years.. now going full on and loving it!
