The prison cell of each of us is very different than that of the author, and I wouldn't want to trade places with him -- we are each in our own self created prison cell to find freedom in and become free of. We each have a purpose which is to become all that we can become and be of help to others doing the same. I think the author is growing and sharing, so he has that purpose and worth, which are important. We can stay open by knowing that we are in this world but not of it. I at least sometimes stay open to the present moment with its potential and stay aware of my inner truth while at the same time dealing with the reality of this world. I often feel in two worlds at once. Somewhere along the way I learned that there is the inner world of my present experience and the outer world of situations. My being aware of being in the world and not of it and living from that awareness helps me develop the ability to do it more. Thank you, author, for your words of wisdom.
