This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 07, 2008:
privacy is the most intimate thing you share with yourself. it's the grace of having something alone for you to enjoy. i think it's hard to say whether or not you have privacy...
although i do enjoy being alone, i don't think i have much privacy in my life.
the last time i felt i had privacy was when i took a walk late at night in my neighborhood. no one was there, only me.
i felt like i was walking through a ghost town, with all the lingering pieces of the day infront of me.
at the park there was a half eaten sandwich in a plastic bag on a bench, and broken cd on the sidewalk. i found a little girl's hair bow in the jungle gym and some sticky notes with grocery items scribbled on them.
i guess you could say i was entirely alone but yet, did i have privacy?
the items that belonged to others were all around me...
private or not, it was intimate and free. and i relished and reflected in the ability to be able to find a safe alone haven from the chaos of the world.
