More about me

"On life's journey
Faith is nourishment,
Virtuous deeds are a shelter,
Wisdom is the light by day and
Right mindfulness is the protection by night.
If a man lives a pure life
nothing can destroy him;
If he has conquered greed
nothing can limit his freedom."
         ~~Buddha~~ 

I am 53 years old.  I hold a BA in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from the University of Michigan-Flint.  I am searching for a spirituality which does not contradict itself.  Five grown children and six grandchildren keep me very busy.  I have been divorced for the past sixteen years and I am not actively seeking to enter into a romantic relationship. But one never knows so I suppose if it were to happen, I'm open to the possibility.
