Out of the mouse hole
Have you ever done something that may have insulted or offended others without being aware that you did?
I think it happens to me all the time. And if I figured it out correctly, I think it's because I focus on myself, my identity, my own feelings and shame too much...
Sometimes I wish I was invisible, especially after I do some radical things that have potential to incur wrath or judgment from others. Even if it fact I do not incur such things, my fragile ego seems to drive me to "hide into the mouse hole."
So...if this is at all applicable, I beg your pardon for my abrupt disappearance. Perhaps, after some months of time, I have conjured up enough courage to face my invisible audience/reader. Perhaps I felt like I cannot hide any longer, for the drive to practice writing has overcome the drive to conceal my thoughts... =)
