Alexander, the fact that you published this poignant piece on my birthday and it describes my journey to understand myself so well? Thank you - your writing is a treasured gift.

Appreciate what you said about meditative prayer--that kind of inner life is essential for an integral life of authenticity, the principle of "Know Thyself." In this context it seems appropriate to share a poem I wrote after a visit to Delphi, Greece, where that injunction was posted for all to see, but perhaps not often heeded.

Knowing ourselves leads to a deeper understanding of others...I see a win/win world arising from these practices!

I’m glad this could help a bit and I know 100% how you feel, that is normal, we all go through periods like that. You are well on your way to feeling better about it. God bless
