What a thoughtful comment! I don't recall ever hearing the quote you mentioned, about an old person dying...such truth. Yesterday I was guided to begin networking and there was immediate confirmation after the action that I took in that regard. For a while there though, I distanced myself from many. There was so much noise and I needed to go inward and listen to myself...to my emotional guidance system, my needs, etc... I'm excited to reopen to the public so to speak. Now with a stronger sense of discernment and greater awareness.

I think we all need that quiet space from time to time, so that we can resume our path forward refreshed and reinvigorated. If I recall correctly, that quote is from an interview he gave while a passenger on a cargo ship. Turns out Alex Haley loved taking trips on them as the cabins provided a peaceful environment for him to write. That quote has always stayed with me, as I was raised mostly by older people, and learned so much from them. It always reminded me of the burning of The Library of Alexandria. The "library burning" part, is a reference to the knowledge lost when wise elders pass on, unless that knowledge is passed on to the next generation.
Yes, it made sense right away. Perhaps, in our future we'll place a higher value on their wisdom and experience.
As @evernoticethat said, that time of solitude is necessary sometimes. I too went through something of the sort for the past two years, but now it's time to bloom! Thank you for stopping by and for your own thoughtful comment!
@drrune , it was my pleasure. 🙂 You are the first "favorite" I have added on PeakD. I look forward to reading more about your 'bloom'. 😉
