I have been pulling back from society for awhile. It doesn't bother me. I enjoy the quite. I'd run far away north if it wasn't for Christine and the kids. Its true the pull of solitude is strong. But the love for my family is stronger. I spent alot of time alone when i was a teenager. I liked to sit in the bush. Sometimes I would lie in a field and watch the clouds float by. My goal in being alone is a clear mind. To be without thought. My mom used to have relaxation tapes. I used to steal them and listen to them before falling asleep. You know the ones that have you relax your whole body focusing on the breathing. That kinda thing. Goodnight.
