What does one do to get away? To find time alone to be alone?
...I must be in a loner mood to be pondering this.
Personally, one of my ways is to set a day of rest during the week, usually a Friday. However, this involves some planning in advance, like what I used to do, picking a Friday each month and take the day off to just do my own stuff. I've not been having much time this year to do this though. During these "Sabbath" days, I would usually plan a QT session along with other "quiet" activities, like watching a movie, visiting a museum, taking photos, exploring/walking about, or simply lounging at a quiet cafe. I would create a personal space, and it's just me and the surroundings.
Another way, usually more spontaneous and irregular, would be a long bus ride. This usually happens when I'm alone at the Esplanade in the evening, could be after a show or something. I have a straight bus home from there, which is a really long ride, like an hour or more. I don't really like long bus rides as I might get motion sickness, but if I feel like it (loner mood), I would. However, I would pick to take the Super Bus model (so yes, I'll wait) and sit upstairs, listen to my iPod and just zone out all the rest. I might reflect or ponder about things, but it feels good to have that personal space.
Was thinking I haven't gone for a SSO concert very much these days. Should go check out what programmes they have.
