Many traditions include some mention of ‘longing for solitude’ that meditators experience during some stages of training. I have found this true. At some times cities are dissonant and nauseating, other times they are like a symphony of silence. The former is confused, fixated.

I think it may have something to do with the way in which deep equanimity unfolds, a somewhat cyclical purification. In certain senses I am hypersensitive - apparently neurologically - so this is something I continue to explore; cities/substances/sex/social interaction etc.
