Hi all, thought I would drop in here and see what its about. I'm retired and living in the Scottish highlands so my loneliness is mainly a life style choice- far from a lot of human insanity. Have spent a lot of time with meditation on the lines of 'who am I?' and realise this kind of truth searching is rowing ones boat away from the human race-and that's the price you pay. The following is an old favourite and illustrates where I'm at [or was].
Refiners Fire
The battle for truth
Is waged upon untruth.
When the flames have consumed all,
and the smoke has cleared,
Only truth remains.
Destroy everything. Burn it all.
Incinerate even your heart.
Throw your soul into the furnace.
This is the great conflagration.
Nothing false will survive.
Nothing true will perish.
This is the process.
This is the war.
The battlefield is you.
The battle is absolute.
If you don't like it,
Don't do it.
It will always be here,
waiting.

Its very beautiful here and the wildlife is exceptional- I feel closer to the natural world than people- ah well might go crazy-might not. I feel some company would be good [other than my dog] but not going to chase it. If anyone would like to know more about living in the highlands drop me a line, Cheers
