spot on lesson today, Sam. i'm feeling saturated in my solitude by politics, the desecration of the biosphere, wildfires, droughts, floods, species extinction, wanton cruelty, violence, the demise of our stand-in democracy, the spectre of fascism, the MidEast, the Sudan, Ukraine, 90million refugees - its totally important for me to have a private space in the best times and in our time - thanks for asking

I, too, long for private space to think. Though, as a semi-nomad, I often find myself in isolated spaces, a beach, a canyon, a desert valley, etc. I assume having a dedicated place would probably more apt for the kind of thinking we're called to. As Risa mentioned, sometimes there seem to be too many fires going on at once. Yet, I still choose to see the glass half full--democracy will survive, Ukraine is doing a monumental job fending off a world power, the Middle East will have to come to a resolution, and we must definitely give more attention to the Sudan crisis. Lots to think about!

Thanks for the post.

Thank you! I struggle with this too, living a nomadic life. I wondering how rooting down might change my relationship to the private sphere
