thinking about those who have walled themselves up in apathy in order to simulate the illusion of invulnerability. These people treat others like islands, weigh stations, temporary sites of rest or exoticism, stopovers between the solipsism of the high seas. They may even visit an island several times, but when the winds change their course, they move on to other waters...

Passed on the message to Savta. She is eternally grateful and wanted to know if you could add a philosophical prayer for her.
isolation seductive in that way. but hermits never really fulfilled their potentials, did they? that's what's so beautiful about the human race. it can be both cruel and the most pleasing thing in the world at the same time.
what potentials did hermits have that they're not fulfilling liege?
ana, the masks i put on are between myself and myselves (what one could call intra-subjcetivities)... i think you'rer talking about a different kind...
if there's one thing that keeps you going, it's the different relationships you create between every new person you meet. i just don't understand how hermits could give that up.
