I didn't post that quote - did I?<BR/><BR/>See how discombobulated I am?<BR/><BR/>It is interesting, what you said, about trying to escape ordinariness of one kind or another. I have been doing a few enneagram tests lately (here, if you're interested: <A>http://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/introduction.php</A> to try to work out what I am. I think I am a 4, the individualist, which says:<BR/><BR/>"Fours build their identities around their perception of themselves as being somehow different or unique; they are thus self-consciously individualistic."<BR/><BR/>Hmmm, I don't know if I feel comfortable with that. I don't want to try to be different to other people just because, you know? I hate doing these sorts of tests :)<BR/><BR/>I so love that Delbrel sentence where she says, "We, the ordinary people of the streets, have the distinct impression that solitude is not the absence of the world, but the presence of God." I guess it legitimises it for me. I spend so much time alone, and I know that sometimes it is because being around other people is a breaking out of my comfort zone, even though I do love being around others. So I guess sometimes it's a withdrawal for different reasons. But still, mostly it is because I feel most myself just alone with me and God, know what I mean?Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.com
