In a world where people bare open their daily lives to the public, I prefer to live an intensely private life. Protected from the glare of the public eye, unsolicited interruptions and distractions, I can focus on what is truly important to me.
In an obscure corner of the world, I seek to live a quiet, unassuming life. One can live a creative and content life despite being a nobody to the world at large. In anonymity brews the golden richness of an inner life. I see, feel, think, love and learn and just as quietly I hope to take leave of this magnificent world.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog! - Emily Dickenson
I asked for fame, so others would know me; I was given obscurity, that I might know myself. - Billy Mills, Oglala Lakota
