I am curious as to the substance of your metamorphosis, for it appears that what moved you to isolation in the wilds and was the source for your book is unchanged, and as you have returned to isolation, it seems appropriate to ask what is the nature of the transformation?  

The pull of my soul has always been strongest toward isolation, or the term today of solitude or stretched to contemplative. In fact, usually much effort is needed to engage in simple conversations with friends. More later, gotta run.
