Hello there! I'm Micah and I'm looking for that one and only, my special someone I can love and care for forever. I am seeking an energetic equal, a reciprocal partner to venture through life with. There is nothing more important than love. The experience of life always leads to that conclusion and that, as the ultimate value we all hold in the highest regard. I'm halfway through this life experience on earth and still seeking my soul mate and I know she is still seeking me.  I am loving, supportive, inventive, hard working, intelligent, affectionate, tender, compassionate, and sovereign.

I'm well on my way to the dream life I have envisioned and worked to bring to fruition. I have some beautiful fertile land that I've already built a shop and millwork site on. I am in the process of starting construction on the house and then will be installing the gardens, then barn, then greenhouse, phew!

I am highly spiritual and see the world from that perspective the most. We are all the one fragmented into the many, so just like a snake biting it's own tail, we cannot harm another without experiencing that pain. This gives us a clear path to walk in life. I am a kind soul that seeks to understand life from the grandest perspective of all. I am a compassionate teacher, a rock solid friend and foundation, and a generous lover.

I believe this entire existence begins with awareness, without awareness we are not conscious and hence do not exist. So, if that's true then the more aware we are, the more intelligent we are, and the more aligned with an intelligent creator we become. This cultivation of awareness is the grist of life. If we choose to make excuses why we cannot become more aware we solidify ourselves into that current identity, instead of evolving into a higher version of ourselves. With awareness comes a new perspective, with new perspective comes understanding, and from understanding comes compassion, will power, right thought and right action. No amount of identifying as a victim will get us to that place.

I'm seeking someone who is awakened, not woke. The perfect person for me will be strong in her own regards. She will be able to provide for herself and solve life's problems with little or no help from others. Besides this fact that she would be strong, she should exude a gentle kindness and compassion for all humans and all life on this planet. Knowing when to give to herself and when to give to others and doing that daily work to balance that, so that together we are a reciprocal partnership that constantly works to lift and support when another is weak in an area. My partner should be aware enough to know how much she is taking or giving to a relationship and how much she is taking or giving to herself.

I have worked hard to get to the place I currently am and as much as I'd like to lift others into a similar place, I have learned I cannot lift people who do not wish to evolve. Your desire to become ever larger and to not stop growing is essential for me.

My partner would be affectionate, thoughtful, courageous, kind, compassionate, driven, unvaccinated, integrous, and magical!  Looks aren't everything and neither are brains, but they are things I am attracted to just as I am the heart.  I am in shape and try to eat healthy and give myself good self care and I desire the same in a partner.  Ideally I prefer woman who are shorter and younger than me but If it's perfect it's perfect.  I am 5'9" 120lbs. slim/athletic build.

My current focus in life is love and sovereignty. Personally I believe we are at a point in time of evolution where we are supposed to move inward. Our world has asked us for far too long to put faith in an authority figure. We are at that point where the realization should begin to stir in you that "you" are the only authority over your life. Only connecting with that small voice inside of you can give right action and right advice to us. When we have no faith in ourselves and in our purpose we move into a state of fear and from that state of fear we turn to others to straighten our mind.

The answer always comes and the answer always is the self. So once we know that "we are the answer" to life's seemingly endless problems we can begin to truly simplify and solve them instead of address one problem with another problem. This direction leads us back to what many call ancestral skills and permaculture. Simplifying life through hard work and real connection and observance of our system as an entire cycle. Because of this I want to grow as much of my own food as possible and I don't want to stop there. I want to build from the trees and the clay, I want to make textiles from flax and wool. I want to continue to learn to provide for ourselves.  I have a beautiful plot of 13+ acres in warren county Missouri.  My land is paid for and I'm getting bids to build my home on it now.  I plan to homestead and likely have layer hens and sheep for wool and milk because I am pescetarian.  If my partner wants to butcher a few chickens a year I am ok with that too or buy local birds or beef, as long as we can share a majority of meals I am not against meat, I just believe we should be willing to kill what we eat and most of the time I'd rather not.  I plan to do natural bee keeping too at some point.  I forage walnuts, hickory nuts, goose berries, frost grapes, black berries, black raspberries, and more from my land. I'd love a partner that gets excited about all of this stuff and wants to not only talk about it but do it!

I have a 10 year old son that I have split custody of.  He is amazing, I know they all they say that so I'll just let you see for yourself.  I do not want to have any more kids but I am open to yours.  Please reply with a picture and something about you, you are welcome to reply in a PM.  I look forward to meeting the love of my life!

I understand how this can be confusing and maybe the way I am intending is not translated well in that word as I know the term sovereign citizen has now been slandered. Basically to me it means no one is an authority over me. I think for myself and set my own beliefs and self governance. I don't need or care for laws that may be put in place by a government. Maybe that slightly clears it up for you.

And by sovereignty being the focus I mean that in a way that I can care and provide for myself without the need of governments.

Hi Micah! Just wanted to express my appreciation for your post, you were definitely not afraid to open up your heart and express your dreams and desires and it means a lot in this timeline! I would want to know you better. Always trying to follow my intuition, this time as well- maybe it’s a path to very good friendship?
Many thanks,
Natalia

SOVEREIGNTY means of PURE THOUGHT and Intention not derived from or a result of any outside conditioning. To be of sovereign mind & body is to think for oneself and live authentically with personal truth and chosen perception.

Hi Micah,

I just PM'd as well, but want to write that I too love wool and linen. My fave textiles. I made a YouTube video in fact extolling the virtues of one of my fave brands, Icebreaker - love their merino wool.
