I was invited over to my neighbors cabin for a luncheon today. It was nice to meet some of the other people in the area. They seem like nice and interesting people. I’ve been here three years but I don’t know many people because I’m content to hang out at my cabin.
If I haven’t been with people for awhile and get plopped into a social gathering it sends me reeling; I can’t quit thinking about all the people and the stuff they said for a long time afterwards. I was thinking, with the introduction of the Internet in my life, that it wouldn’t be such an adjustment, but it still is.
Sometimes when I’m living peacefully, alone, I start to think I have found a profound and lasting inner peace but then a big rock is dropped into the tranquil pond of my life and I realize it’s not inner peace that I ‘m experiencing, but outer peace.
