I have global interests. At the same time I have local activities I am aware of and some I am involved in regularly. I am interested in finding someone who would be interested in working with me on learning to Swing Dance well. Sometimes when I know of someone with a need and someone else with the way to help I connect them. And sometimes I become involved in a more personal way than connecting one person with another. It is fun to be known by other people and to know others. Often it is what ideas people bring into the conversation, more than their age, that matters. Popular Science Fiction sayings that often come to mind are: "Ideas Never Die." "Fear Is The Mind Killer" or more fully: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. " On the other hand, I am likely to say. "No Worries." Or at times, " You are not in my way, but on my way. " And I look to see who is looking to recieve a smile, and who is too focused to see one. I like to find ways to give permission to others to give and recieve smiles and recognition.
