"Hermits have no peer pressure."
Steven Wright
There comes a time when we all just want to crawl in to our shells
and pull the ground in behind us
and pull the ground in behind us
No news
No noise
And definitely no people
For most of us, those moments do not come very often
But when they do
Grab a shell, tuck yourself in
and keep your thoughts company
James Russell Lowell said:
The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere
and that's poetiquejustis
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up,
left
the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
Mark 1:35
