I think of my own changing life situation. My career was in
service to people and privacy was something I carved out within a socially
demanding calendar. I treasured
solitude. My home and yard activities were a retreat from my office and
appointments. Occasionally scheduled days at a cottage, away from routines
replenished my personal supplies to re-enter my social commitments. Retired now
for four years, and having sold my home to enter the downsized world of strata
living, compels me to learn new ways, both to cope with a high density of
neighbours and eager eyes and to generate solitude which my temperament and
interests require.
