Ino The Wild
I suppose I go from being lonely and being in solitude.
I suppose we are always somewhere in between the two? I love solitude but when I come back from those chosen, or not chosen moments of solitude, I want to share what I have learned.
I just saw the movie, "Into the Wild" I really related to the character.
I too often go off on backpacking treks and long for and love the solitude. But, like the character in the movie in the end, I write something in my journal to the effect that life isn't really holy or special unless it is shared.
So, I continue to go "Into the Wild" both in nature and in search within the "wilds" of my soul and heart. There is risk in sharing. There always will be.
To trust is not easy. I see glimpses of that careful sharing in here. But this is just a forum and we are all just here in cyber. But that is ok. It is a start.
Even when I get to a GO Gathering there is a certain sharing but it is still surface. People who come to a gathering usually are paired up.
Well, if you haven't seen the movie please do. I actually cried. Don't laugh !
I related so much to that character when I was young.
Ahhhh the word "young". Now that is a perplexing word in the gay community. Sometimes I suppose we try to hang on for dear life in the "wilds" of youth? It is kinda sad how anyone over 40-50 are looked upon in most gay social circles.
Hey, maybe it is just me? Not criticizing as much as "thinking out loud"
So I am here if anyone wants to hike into the wilds of the woods, mountains, roads, hills, water. Or if you really are a risk taker into each others hearts ! Now that can be "wild"
