Age brings more isolation as I care less about shunning the world and its values, and more about understanding myself. Yet responsibility is constant, so the time for my meditation would come from family life. But it wouldn’t be fair to withdraw from them, so we withdraw together and live among the interstitials of society.

The only thing certain about the future is that we will be together as we find our practice becoming more aware of who we are. Growth is the only possible outcome.
