Why Did I Exit Groups

Groups are fun, energising. A group is often more than the sum of all. But there's more than that to  truth. Affluence has gone up. Characteristic of friends and relatives change with raised affluence. The bubbles around them enlarge. Smiles become wider and laughter quiter. Head gets precedence over heart. A group seeks conformity. I felt unwelcome in groups where I didn't conform. One-on-one, everyone in the group likes me, but when together, I had to resemble them.  In a group, fear multiplies and risks assume larger proportions.

Guarding MY space? What Space?

For years, I've guarded that space...MY SPACE...lest people don't get to know, don't intrude. Then one day, I asked, "What am I guarding? Why?". I stopped being the guard. But it was tough to go inside, even for me. The place had become so used to being guarded. Years later, I've only managed to get a hazy view of what lies inside... And guess what! The inside is the same...whether you enter from my door or yours!
