Title: Tranquil Dreamer

Gender: Male

Location: Vancouver

I am an openly gay male who is not afraid to say I am older, I have disabilities, and I am not rich at all.  I am, however , a survivor of many things!  And rich in friends and family of choice.  I am a Writer, Fine Artist - Acrylic Paintings, Freelance Designer, Jewelry Maker, a fine cook - esp, of Desserts. An avid reader of almost every genre from Sci Fi to Who Dunnits, to Bios, to History, to How to Fix things, to Medical books, etc, etc etc.
I am a Quester of Knowledge, a Seeker of Truth and a Delver of Mysteries.  I am very spiritual - yet not religious!  I admit to being a Naked Tree Hugging Pagan at times!  LOL I also admit to a large streak of Mischief, and Brattdom!
My spirituality is Nature Based!  Truly Mother Nature has me in awe 90% of the time. The other 10% I am surprised at what She can do.  I am struck silent by the Glory and Power of Nature and am saddened by how we humans, disregard and disrespect Her!
I am blunt in speech, that comes from a childhood where I wasn't allowed to speak my Truth or to BE, period.  But I am beyond that now. I speak my mind freely and with Joy!  Sure I can speak with Anger, and Hate too, but that is because I am a Perfectly Imperfect human being!
Joy is a big part of my life.  I get Joy when I am in a Garden, smelling the flowers, and seeing all the colors and reveling in the smells of Life.  I get Joy when I see Eagles soaring overhead, or see waves crashing on a beach, or feel the ground shake in a good Thunderstorm.
Above all, I get Joy in smiles, and hugs from people in my life.  And kisses from all my animal friends.  I walk a lot and stop and pet all the dogs I meet who want to be petted!  I respect those that don't and walk away but I do say “Hi” to each and every one of them.
I also love seeing the Life and Fun in small children's faces when they discover something new in their life.  Good examples for all of us to follow, I think!
Sure I am human, and have bad days.  As someone who lives with Pain, I have many bad days.  But I get through it!  Death doesn't scare me! Been close to it , a few times. But I survived.  I look at each day as an adventure, never knowing exactly what will happen.  But I look at it as one more day as a survivor!  And thats what keeps me going.  I wasn't supposed to survive you see!  But I did!  Not only survived it, but became stronger because of it. 
I make mistakes, yes, but no one out there doesn't.  I accept the responsibilties of my actions and admit I did the best I could.  Thats all anyone can do!
So this is a basic outline of ME!  Not in total at all,.LOL, that would take volumes!  Good thing I have a sense of humor, I DO love to laugh, and this man admits he Giggles!  A lot!  Deal with it!
Blessings
