Grandfather, spiritual, artistic, poetic, handy, shy, and polite I enjoys learning, writing, electronics, mechanics, science, sculpting, and sailing. I value family, friendship, and freedom.
My mom had suffered medical complications during my birth and consequently I was taken care of by relatives for my first few years of life and by the time I was returned to my parents I had two younger sisters as well. Baptized catholic with strict parents and seven siblings I struggled to fit in with my own family members.
I have always been at odds with the average world population and continued to see and be different in most aspects of life. For starters I have above average intelligence combined with dyslexia. As I grew older I was able to identify with mainstream people less and less and usually as a consequence of my life’s experiences. At this point in life it is unlikely that I share anyone else's social, political, economic, or spiritual views.
I first realized I was different repeating the first and third grades of school because I couldn't read. I realized how different I was when I got my drivers license and found myself on the road least traveled. I lacked the patience to be controlled and inevitable found ways of my own to get by or around just about any obstacles.
Eventually graduating high school mainstream saw me fit for duty and I was drafted into the military service but by the time I made it to the battle fields mainstream had learned the truth about war and by the time I reached home I found myself unwelcome. Like swimming up river and against the tide I generally found myself apposed to mainstream in most ways.
Killing in the name of anything cut my ties with the catholic religion. I tried a few other religions during the war but to no avail for they all approved of actions that I refused to take part in. By the end of the war I gave up on God, patriotism, and country altogether.
My understanding of physics and science did not let me stay atheist very long. I find our universe is much to complicated and orderly to be left to the chaos of chance. I was transformed from having faith in someone else’s God to having an understanding of His existence and knowing my spirituality. Directly connected to God I have no further use for religions, intermediators, or temples.
Though I have not taken a vow of poverty I am not impressed by materialistic ownership, control, wealth, or power. I live modestly, quietly, and keep to myself.
I find the object of my soul is to find happiness in spite of the hell of our earthy reality as apposed to mainstream’s blind eye of bliss. Exposed to the evils of the world and driven by a need to know I except the horrors and see through the facade of compliance. That is to say if one is not part of the solution they are problematic to me.
My interests are for a simple happy healthy lifestyle without negative imprint. My intention is to organically grow most of my own food; install some solar panels, and get off the grid to the extent that is possible.
As a retired handyman by trade I continually leave the world in a better place. In the absence of something good to say I remain quiet. I am set in my ways and I have grown accustomed to being alone but I would prefer sharing my life in love.
Recipe for Romance
Love is in the language we use
It’s in the message we share
Love is in the words we choose
It shows how much we care
Love is in the choices we make
It’s that look in our eyes
Love is the chances we take
It’s in what we surmise
Love is as gentle as a breeze
It’s stronger than steel
Love may start as a tease
Then matures into real
Love grows every day
So it has to be nourished
Love is in the words we say
To someone we cherish
Love is in the kindness we show
It’s in our gentlest touch
Love needs to grow
And there’s never too much
Our recipe for romance
We have everything we need
Simple as our slow dance
And planting the seed
Love is ours for the taking
Should we be so bold
In promises we’re making
To have and to hold
Liberty Light Love

My Ideal Person
Synchronicity of Hearts
Having another yesterday, today Now who’s to blame Right on time and without delay Tomorrow promising quite the same
Over and over this same old things Day after day, is just too much New just something the weather brings Knowing we’re out of touch
Perhaps we are more afraid What our future holds in store And so we play a little charade Blind eyed to anything more
Just waiting to catch a break As time keeps slipping away Whatever it’s going to take Starts with something we say
Starting at the beginning We’ll take it from there When it comes to winning There’s plenty to share
Liking it or not Time flies by Giving it a shot Our time to try
To be the best And never even know So hear my request We’ll start real slow
No time like now Today is the day Say it some how Do it some way
No harm in trying Worst case is no We should be flying With places to go
We’ve done our share Our words are plain We’re one of a pair And two the same
Changes of mind Taking our chance Intending to find Meaning of romance
Liberty, Light, Love JimR.
