I love the passage from 365 Tao. I do see myself in that, and I don't. Owning stuff has never been an issue with me. I don't become attached to things, or care about them much, unless they remind me of a person (like my mother) who is gone. However, I am very attached to those I love. Probably more than most people. I don't see myself so much as a single unit but as part of my family.
As for Leary's recommendation to reach out and have a conversation: I do that compulsively. I strike up a conversation with just about anyone. Sometimes that is a disquieting experience.
By the way, I'm enjoying your book. It is relatable. So much of what you write about has resonance with me. I see you on a path, well along in life, coming to realizations. There is commons sense, and yet profound insight in some of them. I read them before I go to sleep--not every night, but most nights.
That book makes a good bedside companion. Actually, as I write these words I think that will definitely be in my review.
I swear each passage is this deep, or deeper. If I had to choose just one daily reader it would probably be this one but the other two provide some balance. I used to be such an introvert when I was younger but the older I get the more I've become like my father, he didn't have a shy bone in his body and would talk to anyone. IMO life is better this way.
I'm glad you're enjoying the book and it's relatable. So much has changed for me in these past few years since I began writing full-time. It was something I worked towards for so many decades. Sometimes I feel a little melancholy for those early years but I wouldn't want to go back to swimming in all that uncertainty. I really appreciate you writing that review. I think you'll be my first for that book! Sales for this one weren't what I expected. I hope you enjoy the weekend. We have a pretty major snowstorm that's supposed to descend on us in a few hours—anywhere from 12" to 31". I really hope they're wrong.
