A theory

5. Thank you for that. :)

After figuring things out I've recast the memory and come to the conclusion that I was fortunate enough to go on a "vision quest" at an unusually young age. I do consider it a source of personal power. Not ego.

Periodic bouts of solitude are good for a contemplative life. Loners, I think, get to figure some things out that might otherwise be difficult to understand.
