That's a spiritual lifestyle, being willing to admit that you don't know everything and that you were wrong about some things.

Flora was in that state where the spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak and wishes to go on holiday - and where the flesh in most cases wins hands down with a packed suitcase. It did so now.

It is not an escape from the world, rather it is the arrival at a vantage point from which we can see more deeply into the reality of the world. ↗
