Hi PETE,

Your first question presented an interesting dilemma, one that most spiritual or introspective people face fairly often. In my case, I used to joke for years that I was anti-social, that it runs in my family. But the fact of the matter was that I was creatively preoccupied by my own inner questions and projects (and yes! that kind of self-absorption is unfortunately one of the paths one does sometime have to walk down).

Anyway, now that I've progressed in my creative work (fiction writing), I am confident enough to say to people, "I do not have infinite energy and my writing uses up a lot of it." I'm amazed how often people just smile and politely accept my answer.

As for your second question, I'm a bit confused.
Wouldn't starting a church result in even more work for you ?

Regards, IRA
