Aug 22 Daily Entry -- Draw Inward

I have sent too much energy into the world, and for no reason. It is not reciprocated. It is not rewarded. It has no effect. It is time for me to draw my energy inward.

My body is a shell that moves through the world. My real life must be inside. There I can find quiet fields, dark oceans, moonscapes, ancestors, angels, and comfort.

The outside world is no longer my concern. What happens there happens, and it makes no difference to me. I have no opinion of it. I neither want nor avoid, attract nor repel.

I share nothing with the people of that world, as they share nothing with me. I cannot be delighted, but neither can I be disappointed. I am alone in the outside world, but can exist in community in my head.

I am finished with this world. My body may be forced to remain here for years more, but my mind will be free.
