I'm printing out these two paragraphs, they SO struck me. Thank you, Anthi!

Maybe it was time to go beyond the safety net it had built with toil, and develop the skill of “carrying” its nest within, everywhere. This way, it wouldn’t need to be in a specific place or alone to feel safe, cured, balanced, free. This way, its self would be its shelter, and no one would look like a threat to it.

It would keep the moments of loneliness that offer so many meaningful things — so many! — , but it would also be OK when the circumstances don’t allow loneliness; freer than before.
