We behave differently in different environments. Social conventions affect behavior. But I feel like, maybe now as a 60 year old man, my core being is set. Different environments affect mood, but I feel as though I’m me in the various places life takes me. Thanks for a thoughtful read!
I can certainly understand the sentiment, though I wonder if that's the feeling that's present even when we're evolving, however imperceptibly. Thank you for the comment, John.
This reminds me of the feeling that I have while playing basketball. I would disappear into the game. I wouldn't be myself anymore. I was just the body and brain working independently of my soul. It was meditative. I haven't played in years but I've been slowly working myself back into shape. I'm hoping, at age 58, that I can find that limnal state again.
To "disappear into the game" sounds like the perfect time with any sport. On the best days, that's what I feel while swimming. Thank you for the comment, Sherman.
I find that I remember more clearly what I've read from physical books than from online newsletters. I also find that not all online newsletters long or need to be books. But the content of Desk Notes - most definitely - must be a book.
