about me
I'm loyal. Try not to be judgmental. I've embraced eastern thought. Am trying to reinvent my life in Stavropol Russia where I am the only American foreigner I know of. Interested in courageous individuals who oppose or defeat toxicity, who have or want to reinvent their life. People who have begun anew either away or at home.
I now live in Russia, would like to speak with anyone who cares to write.

Re: Compassionate Rejection of Hurtful Behavior (in Polyamory) Sometimes things can't be fixed. Of course we want to make things better, but direct action (perhaps the expected response) might be detrimental to the cause. So besides acknowledgment, a quiet period must ensue. One doesn't always have to lea... read more

Re: Understanding Will (in Polyamory) It takes some will to even adhere to cultural norms. So yeah getting to the bathroom whether it's in the next room, or 300 yards away where there is a line for a port o potty, requires some will. So by my definition will is involved in every cons... read more

My Blog

Stavropol is a university town. I think there are at least 5. There is quite a mix of every race here except African Black. There are certainly Indian Black people. In the next state is a colony of Buddhists. They are oriental and their ethnic food is of the mountain dwellers although they live in a flat land. I never inquired their origin, but they revere the Dali Llama. In fact the largest and most ornate Buddhist Temple in Europe is there. The State is called Kalmichia. Here in Stavropo... read more
