Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves. Henry David Thoreau
The world is full of distractions, now more than ever before. Artificial sights and sounds solicit our absorption. But embracing an ersatz outer world leads only to an ersatz inner world.
To be clear, it’s not the outer world that empties us of life. It’s our enthusiastic embrace of it. Our pursuit. Our focus. Our choice to settle for the unreal as a substitute for really living.
Sometimes – maybe even right now – we feel the need to withdraw. Retreat. Unplug from the Matrix.
Is your soul crying out for more than 9-5ing, daily grinding, thumbflick-scrolling, mind-controlling, posture posing, market closing days and nights and weekends?
It’s time to listen and to respond to those inner cries for freedom.
It’s time to go on Walkabout.
