About
I'm genderqueer, poly, and androphilic. My user name is Latin slang for bisexual, but I use it because it translates loosely as "Neither one thing nor the other." I think this is a good description of me, even though I'm not bi. I am a Nontheist. I am perfectly willing to believe in any deity(ies) you like, but I worship nothing. I am a Buddhist/Animist.
I'm likely way too old for you and I really, really, really don't want offers of TS or online dating. Considering the likely age difference, it's creepy and annoying. I will not give random beggars gold or presents either, so don't bother. If you are planning to ask me to friend you, could you drop me a line and say why?
I believe that all people deserve to be treated with dignity. Everyone deserves enough to eat, equality under the law, a safe place to sleep, health care, education, and a chance to make a joyous life for themselves.
I am currently living in the PNW of the United states.

That sucks.
I can't imagine...well I guess I can to some extent. I totaled my first car, and my knee and shoulder have gotten progressively worse since then. Kneeling is out now, and I learned in violin/viola tech that my left arm doesn't move the way it should anymore.
I'm very sorry to hear that. I imagine these are of the variety where there's nothing they can do?
Ah. I'll have to admit my ignorance to Animism, but I'll be searching the subject in a few moments. Eclectic sounds about right for me. But even when I am going through periods of doubt, I never lose sight of my morals. I don't know where the roots to them lie, but I know enough to keep true to the base guiding points in my life.
So why did you stop practicing tai-chi? You don't have to answer if it's too personal; I understand that.
I wish there had been more classes! I really enjoyed tai-chi, and found it a great way to relax and just center myself. I know nothing about Tibetan Zen, but I am very willing to learn.
I considered myself Wiccan for a long time, but I really don't know where to place myself anymore. I think of whatever powers that be as feminine, but I don't know that I really believe every aspect of the religion anymore. A lot of it has to do with reading and thinking (how dangerous it can be). I don't like that Wicca tries to be this ancient, long-standing religious martyr when really, what's become popular now, is a neo-pagan branch with hazy roots in a long lost tradition.
I'm heading to bed now though, as it's about 3:30AM here in the midwest, and I've got a gig in the morning. The joys of being a vocalist at christmas time. Have a good night!
I was just going to say that your Avatar looked very cool, but then I read your profile. You seem like a very intelligent, and intriguing individual, whom I would love to talk to. No, that was not meant to sound like flirting, just honesty.
A friend of mine recently introduced me to Zen Buddhism after I mentioned I had been taking the free Tai-Chi classes offered at the gym on campus. I honestly loved it, and found the sense of community and welcoming, even to a complete stranger, very awing and humbling. I consider myself pagan because I have a deep seated love and respect for the earth, but I don't know that I necessarily believe any god, goddess, entity, or combination of them really exist. Or that if they do, I imagine it would not be within our comprehension. I've just started "The Way of Zen" by Alan Watts, and am so far liking it. I am hoping to learn more about Zen from it, and really get a better understanding of what I took part of.
Should you decide to take the next step towards conversation, I look forward to it.
Thank you for selling!
