Well... I have pretty-much withdrawn completely, except for here on PC. And even here I do some things to distance myself. I wrote in a reply, a day or two ago, that I sometimes imagine the world to be sort-of like a parade. And I'm sitting by the side of the street watching it trail off into the distance. I can't say as I'm sad to see it go.

I have a YouTube channel I use just as a place to access music videos I enjoy listening to. I don't upload videos myself. A couple of other members subscribed to my channel. I can't imagine why. Anyway, I closed my channel & then opened a new one just to get rid of my subscribers!

I'm a student of the writings of the Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön. And in her writings Ani Pema talks a lot about developing the capacity to open all the doors & windows & let everyone (& everything) in. I understand what she's saying. But that's the one place where I part company with her. I'm not opening the doors or the windows for anyone!
