70 Independence
"A solitary crane
In winter snow
Needs no jewels."
Solitude is necessary, enjoying it is a prize! I'm happy to say I haven't been bored in over 20 years. It started when I heard the saying, 'Only boring people get bored,' which made me wonder how to avoid being boring. Then, the answer struck me during a re-run of 'The Love Boat': they had an Activities Director. That's it! I have to be my boat's Activity Director. If I become bored it's my own dang fault. I haven't been bored since. Slow times are good for meditation!
