A Little Bit About Me
Some interests:
Reading (a variety of fiction genres, and nonfiction philosophy/Islamic spirituality), writing (mostly fiction, working on draft 2 of a science fiction novel). Growing vegetables, spending time with friends and family. Working out (gym plus calisthenics), hiking, biking, kayaking, etc., bouldering, climbing random objects when the occasion doesn’t discourage it. Puns. Bad jokes. Really bad jokes. Jokes and puns so bad that they’re good. I will always appreciate a good invertebrate, fossil, or local edible plant.
A bit more about me:
As a person, I tend to be quieter until you get to know me, at which point it’s too late: you WILL have to hear all about my current writing project, or the cool cars I saw on my way to work, and you WILL be harassed to go bouldering or hiking with me.
I try to do whatever good I can, or at least do no harm. I like to joke around, as long as nobody stands to get hurt. I believe that life is a rich experience with all the depth of God’s creation shining through every moment, if only we can see it, and to this end, I try to live in such a way that I may witness this, appreciating the small moments alongside the grandness of existence. To this end, I believe that to live one’s religion it is not only necessary to follow the external laws, but also and especially to pursue the beauty of God as revealed in all things, and I strive to live such a life as best I can.

What I Am Looking For
A practicing Muslim of comparable age, who shares my values and outlook on life (where important), really hoping for someone who’s willing to go backpacking and on long hikes. Someone with a natural curiosity, who enjoys exploring a variety of interests, and discovering how things work, and reading/watching videos about new topics. Someone who is open in their communication and supportive, and is easygoing and enjoys life.
