He, Jordan Nicurity, decided to settle in the fairly quiet environment of Hornby Island, because he "likes small numbers of people", he explained.<br />Went off a cliff near Vancouver Island when out alone, fell off, broke his pelvis. yet, dragged himself back to the top after four days! Totally bushwhacked.<br /><br />Or read "Lone Sailor", by Jon Sanders, the lone sailor from Perth, Western Australia, who circumnavigated the world three times, continuously!,i.e., he intended to do two circles, but then liked the trip so much he decided to go around the globe one more time! all by his lonesome, in the early 1980s. <br /><br />These people are comfortable with their own company, and in those two instances, went through horrendous ordeals without another creature to help them. <br /><br />Personally, I have no desire to exile myself, to the extent that those two guys did. But, I love the choice, that is, the freedom to make the choice, of when and where I choose to be gregarious, or, alone. And God gave us that ability, that freedom - to make that choice.Harry Moorenoreply@blogger.com
