i love wabi sabi, truly. it took me asking every japanese person i met downtown for a couple years to figure out what was going on there, and i think i'm a little closer to understanding it than when i started.
you've been clear about what you're looking for, mad respect. i've been separated from my wife of twenty years for six years now, and am currently dating, so perhaps we are not the best fit.
but should you ever want to whip a bit of whimsy and caprice into your life batter as mr.-single-who-wants-to-be-in-a-relationship-with-an-extraordinary-woman's is getting his yeast together, i would love to meet you. :)
peace & love with kind regards, hippie lou

Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.
Here are the top five regrets of the dying, as witnessed by Ware:
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
"This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it."
2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
"This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence."
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
"Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result."
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
"Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying."
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
"This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again."

You are amassing information, doing all the legwork, getting all the facts in order to make an informed decision about how to handle this aspect of your life. Just like the scientist that you are.
David,
This is great and I love it. Especially the last cartoon with the guy guitar going off to do his routine.
I wanted to talk to you some more last night but I was so exhausted and I needed to take in all you had to say about the group in order to better understand the information.
I did want to tell you that you are doing everything just as you should. You are amassing information, doing all the legwork, getting all the facts in order to make an informed decision about how to handle this aspect of your life. Just like the scientist that you are.
I totally respect you and your approach is what I would and do expect of you.
Please forgive me for my short sightedness at times. I'm probably acting out of concern and some fear more than anything else. You are an amazing person and I learn so much form you and I am blessed to have you in my life.
