Excellent point on "choosing silence over noise and vacuity. It's living unmasked without the fatigue of having to wear thick skin."

This is what I seek in my hikes in Nature each week. I would do it daily if I could just to be rid of the fatigue of years of living on the weekly 9-5 cubicle farm.

Duane, I resonate with what you're saying about having the courage and humility to acknowledge—even with those closest to us—their radical otherness and the space needed for personal growth. I hope it teaches us to appreciate our differences. To ask for guidance along the path, but not to cling or grasp. To be separate—but not isolated. Contemplative—but not lonely.
