For all you Hermits and wanna be Hermits, a song for you.

I am a Rock - Simon and Garfunkel

A winter’s day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island

I’ve built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island

Don’t talk of love
But I’ve heard the words before
It’s sleeping in my memory
I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

I like my own company but I wouldn’t call myself a hermit.
(Or I wouldn’t post on here)

Paul has written some fantastic songs,hasn’t he?

“Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest”
Could have been written for some of the threads here :grinning:

Simon & Garfunkel or Paul Simon on his own … they did some fantastic songs.
Mrs Robinson from the Graduate is one of my faves.

Well, this is Herman’s stance on the Hermit

Woke up this morning feelin’ fine
There’s something special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighborhood, whoa yeah (Ooh)
Something tells me I’m into something good
(Something tells me I’m into something) :notes:

There is a lot to be said for Hermitism :grin:

Perhaps not a hermit but I was very much a loner in later teenage years when not at work. This might be thought similar.

I never thought I’d end up with a family. Families don’t allow for being a hermit …or ‘lonerism’. I always worked better alone. I like some time alone now all the family have grown up and left. I’d sure miss Mrs mart if she wasn’t there though.
