ARTE: Self Isolation

I once said in an interview that I would continue doing what I was doing until it was not fun anymore.  When it stopped being fun that I would stop and do something else.  I kept my word, I just had not realized that the something else would be my bucket list item of being a hermit.  I suppose I should do a post about what I've been up to but that's not what this note is about.  I guess I'm sharing this note to say that as a person who has been self-isolating for several years now I can offer a small bit of my experience.  You will get bored, you will get creative, you will freak out and you will find your composure.  If you allow for all of the things that make up you to be present in real time you'll begin to understand who you are to yourself and others. 

don’t be afraid to let your light glow
