Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

I have been part of many things: Organic Farmer, Teacher, Coach, Counselor, Carpenter, Stonemason, Writer, Storyteller, Singer/Songwriter, Husband, Father, Brother, Friend, Neighbor… My life story is still unfolding.
I play well with others. My practical problem solving skills are a valuable asset. I am good with my hands, whether building stonewalls or nurturing living things with tender touch. I have much to share. I listen well. My patience is a virtue. Gratitude is how I start and end each day.
My home is a sacred place, simply splendid. My life is a joyous practice in building harmony, attuned to the seasonal rhythm of rise, fall, and rise again. My soundtrack features a balance of song and silence. An affinity with the field and forest invites me into the greater mystery of things not seen by many.
I am alive in my gardens. My dynamic partnership with the natural world brings the best of life into my storyline. I actively feed the soil that feeds me. Pockets of dirt good enough to eat create a patchwork of plantings on my hillside at the end of the road. I am deeply rooted here.
Who I once was shapes who I have become as humility defeats hubris. My current contribution to the greater good comes through the form of my written words that travel for me, while I stay closer to home. I am still capable of uncommon compassion. My creative spark remains vibrant, but rests more often than before. With nothing but hand tools, I can still build a stone staircase in a single morning, before calling it a day. I breathe in, breathe out, and sing whenever possible.
I continue to be truly blessed by the love of family and friends. My optimism is contagious. I look for the light in every soul. I have more than enough joy to share. If you show me your heart, I will show you mine.
I am seeking the loving companionship of a spirited woman who is a kind and generous artisan. The playful expression of warmth is her signature style. She is a nesting songbird that feeds the world with her hope. As an equal partner, she brings her thoughtful brand of goodness to our common ground. She is an authentic game changer with unquestioned integrity. Experience has been her most valued teacher. She believes her best is still to come. If you see her, please send her my way.
