I took one pill and went on the most bizarre trip down the rabbit hole that can ever be imagined. It was like an out of body experience where I was in a dream and trying to wake up. I knew that I was awake, but all of my thoughts were swirling around, and had this fear that I was not going to be able to take care of myself if I needed to, because I was somewhere else, or someone else. I spend about a day and a half that way and I would rather have suffered the pain than be that far out. When I called the Doctor he said; “Yeah, it has that effect, but some people like it”.

When I am alone in a spot of great beauty like I often find in my surroundings, because we live in an area of great beauty and we have all the seasonal changes. My first thought is that I’m alone, and I have a great need to share my beautiful bounty with others. My wife on the other hand is completely content to be left alone. She likes to share my moments wonder, but she doesn’t need share. I’ve noticed the same things in other people. Like how would anyone live a life of isolation, I would go crazy. Yet, I have known people that live back in the hills by themselves and could care less if they ever see another human being.

There is very little solitude. Even when we are alone our lives are crowded by so many influences, so much knowledge, so many memories of so many experiences, so much anxiety and conflict that our mind becomes duller and duller, more and more insensitive, functioning in a monotonous routine. In a half conscious daze we reach out for the next sugary donut. And we call that life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
