Not long after my awakening, before I discovered Medium, I had never encountered anyone who had undergone and I don't know that I had even heard of an awakening. A journey yes, but an awakening, no. I felt unique and lamented and predicted in one of my musings that as an awakened soul and nonconformist, I would often feel alone on an island in a sea of humanity. Last December I built this rondeau poem around it that I think you will enjoy: https://medium.com/illumination-curated/oh-so-alone-on-an-island-in-a-sea-of-humanity-191b0674026a
