College teacher and writer seeking friendship first

My Greek Orthodox spiritual practice is my life yet I’m also progressive politically, a bit unusual mix, I know. I enjoy meeting people of diverse beliefs and interests. My work as a college teacher and writer energizes me and keeps me busy. For my job, I moved to a small Midwestern US city with a very small Greek community, not even enough for a Greek Church. My Greek has gotten very rusty. Need more Greek parea. Seeking pen pals and friends first. I love walking and hiking, qigong (Chinese yoga), music, Greek dancing, movies, art, literature, science, live sports events, and more. I like to think of 60 as midlife because the Eastern sages say we humans can live to 120, while scientists say 115. We do our best, God willing and health permitting, to enjoy our moments on earth. If you’re interested in conversation, laughter, and friendship, I’d love to hear from you.
