Ideal Partner?
He decidido que solo quiero una mujer activista, quien le importa mejorar el mundo y quien trabaja por eso. Ademas, si conoce varias idiomas, sea mejor.
I have decided that all I want is a partner who is an activist, for whom it is important to make the world a better place, and who is working to that end. It would be nice if she also speaks (or signs) various languages.
The blank pad Watches me Waits for me attention undivided. She awaits my recitation Sorrow, toil pain, woe or hope and love Waiting eager She sits before me anticipating my words Flowing across her smooth ripples touching her breasts lips whispering ink on her pages We never tire of our words Wrapped together Beyond boundaries Sharing our secrets Hopes and dreams Fears and joy The monster that I was The beauty that I am Wrapped in the burning Sheets of a tryst With words.
She must be compatible with my need to improve the world, dance passionately, and always keep learning.
She herself should also be passionate, or at least understand intensity, be dedicated to some cause or idea, think about things, and be vibrant and alive!
An interesting web site on which I saw some information about choosing a soul mate cited striving toward the same ideals or goals in a mutually compatible fashion as the most important criterion to look for in a partner. I must agree.
Another of the most important values, to me, is that of learning. New languages, logical debate and argumentation, various religions, you name it. I feel that everything is connected, and so it is of value to learn almost anything. The important thing is to keep learning.
I may wish to foster or adopt children, somewhere between 5 to 12 years from now.
I most enjoy the pre-teen to teenage time frames, since that is when children begin to develop the ability to do logical operations thinking, and practice their higher order thinking skills.
Speaking of learning, I am currently working on learning to speak Spanish. If anyone is interested in becoming a pen-pal with me to practice speaking Spanish (or Turkish, Hebrew, Catalan, French or Italian), please feel free to contact me. :-)
Aside from our values matching, it would help tremendously if this nice lady also had an interest in international folk dancing, Latin dance, ballet, ballroom dance, or dancing at folk festivals.
My idea of a perfect partner is a woman, preferably Jewish, but not mandatorily, though she must have at least a growing interest in Judaism, and a willingness to practice with and actively support me in observing the rituals of Judaism. I am not Orthodox, but I do tend to consider myself Reconstructionist. That movement of Judaism seems to fit best with my love of learning, as well as my desire to be involved on an equal footing with all the other members of the group, while encouraging all to learn more, and to take leadership roles.
