I saw this story in the New York Times. Maybe some of you saw it, too.

The story is about seeking isolation and going to great lengths to find it. Kind of the Eat, Pray, Love of the survivalist set. The article, by Sarah Maslin, quotes one of my read- her – book – and – loved -it-so – I love – her guidance counselors, psychologist and author, Elaine N. Aron. She wrote The Highly Sensitive Person : How to Thrive When the World Overwhems You. My copy is old, with Post – its and comments everywhere, it so spoke to the seeker of silence in me and explained myself to myself.
You don’t have to run away from home to find your space. Remember that. God knows, sometimes we would like to, and we fantasize about it, but you know how they say ” No man is an island?
Well, every woman is.
