Nemophilia is an interesting word, because it comes apart as "nemo" or "nobody" and "philia" or love of. In other words, "love of solitude." But, Greek is tricky about "nemo" because it can also mean "everybody" or in another sense, "nobody in particular."

You may have encountered a literary "nemo" such as the name Odysseus called himself to the cyclops Polyphemus; the captain of the good anti-war ship Nautilus in Jules Verne's _20,000 Leagues Under the Sea_; or that idiotic fish in the disney-animation film.

This was more like a reading or a personal message the way it landed in my system. Thank you. I practiced yoga on the grass a few days ago and now I will see it smiling. I sat for at least an hour yesterday just watching the ocean and the waves…without trying to do anything else and I like to scramble over stones. I remembered the mushroom fairy rings on Colorado I used to see. I have felt sad for no clear reason and had people show up and connect with me this past week. Thanks for this dose of light Demi.
