I am not a total recluse. Ever.

Sometimes I like to stay put. To not travel. To avoid social engagements. To stay home. Yes, I’m fully capable of acting as a recluse. Without feeling guilty. Because I know it’s good for me. Instead, I read books. And write about life. And go on long walks. All by myself. Might live that way for months. Or for the better part of a year. I suppose it’s my loner nature. Coming to the surface. Of course, I still maintain daily contact. On Skype. With my Italian amore. A sign. That there are some essential things I can’t give up.  Therefore, I am not a total recluse.  Ever. --Jim Broede
