The discussion about an artist's self-protecting barrier, shield, wall, and set of boundaries is quite resonant and taps my empathy, especially in light of my coping with an indefinite, forced retirement resulting from a 2018 incident of a longtime acquaintance, experiencing neurological deterioration, invading my space and assaulting me with overzealous affection in the form of an uninvited, excruciatingly painful deathsqueeze handshake that rendered me unable to work.  So, yes indeed, there are necessary boundaries for the sake of self-preservation and for the fact that some people want to usurp one's possible access to contacts. Thank goodness for a career of nearly fifty years that's full of countless memories, an eclectic treasure trove of life's music soundtrack, memorable collaborative accomplishments, priceless friendships, precious extended familiness, invaluable learning, indispensable practical sustenance, the constant ultimate thrill of evolving, the blissfully vast microcosm of the universe in the realm of books, and the gift of life itself. This timeless episode certainly gladly reverberates and falls on deeply appreciative ears, heart, and soul. Gratefully, Alan C.
