DO NOT DISTURB ME

There is much you do not understand about me. I sometimes need to be left alone. I need to feel a large space around me, as if it is just me standing alone somewhere in the middle of the Sahara Desert, or the Gobi Desert.

I need to not hear your voice. I need to listen, at these times, only to the beating of my own heart. For it is there that I feel the connection with my God and my Universe and my Self.

It is all just this simple. Sometimes people don’t understand. They think I am avoiding them, or unhappy with them, or even angry. I am none of these things. I know that whatever anyone thinks of me, if they have some problem, it is only a problem they have with themselves. Often, people don’t understand this.

So when I say, "do not disturb me" it is nothing mean or untoward or anything at all except what it is—my need for space and to feel connected.
