It's easy to get them to sprout, the hard work is growing them to maturity. After more than 6 months of being single I am hoping to find a partner to build something special with. To create a thriving homestead with and help one and other to reach out individual and collective goals. A person who is excited for a rural, off-grid lifestyle and shares an aspiration for a simple, beautiful life. Being kind and helpful to humans and critters and the earth. Someone with grit and ambition because to reach our dreams there is bound to be challenges. My 20 acre homestead is in the heart of fly-over country in northeast Missouri. I wrote a post over a year ago and will link it below so you can read more about my neighborhood and farm. The post itself was flat but accurate. I'm currently volunteering for a month in southern New Mexico at Gila Cliff Dwellings for the park service with the maintenance department. The monument is a very special place and the surrounding 500,000 acre wilderness area is beyond amazing, beyond my words. On my days off I go for day hikes and backpacking trips. I hope to come back next winter. My housemate is a 70 year old woman and I've really enjoyed getting to know her. Most of the volunteers are over 65 and one badass woman in her 80s, an inspiration. I like being around folks with different perspectives and lifestyle choices. Diversity of opinions is a gift when you let go of judgement and focus on common ground. Back home, two people I'm closest to are my parents age and very different from me in so many ways. I respect and love them, they're salt of the earth.
I am 44 and in excellent shape, though I never exercise just homestead and bike regularly. A bit over 5'11" and 140 pounds with dark brown hair and blue eyes. I'm a double Scorpio, enneagram 1 (reformer) and INJF. Introverted but I'm not shy and am comfortable talking to strangers. I am motivated but not by money or possessions. Not religious or spiritual but I believe god exists in all of us and do my best to honor my body as a temple. Have limited interest in tv/movies but will watch something once a week or so. I like to cook but enjoy eating more. I value living my beliefs but also think it's good to be able to laugh at oneself. Life isn't worth living without fun and laughter. I love my place but would consider moving for the right woman. No cigarettes, drink beer about twice a month and am currently taking a month off of ganja. I grow my own and unsure what my future consumption will look like but maybe once a day in the late afternoon or early evening or perhaps less. I'm open to altering my habits if it's an issue.
What I'd like in a partner is someone in their 30s who is physically active. Preferably someone who is better than me because I like to be challenged. A good sense of humor, a strong work ethic, a dreamer. I prefer someone who drinks irregularly or not at all and either smokes daily or less or not at all. Ideally, you'd enjoy long walks with my dog and camping and hiking and other outdoor activities. I am open to a woman who wants kids or has kids or would like it to be just us. I am happy to be involved with a religious or spiritual person. I would hope to find someone who has done their emotional work and can be in a mature, loving relationship. Open communication and the ability to be vulnerable are important to me.
