What's happening around us?
Lean in closer, I'll tell you.
Amazing things.
Strangers are giving compliments to each other without reserve. Neighbors are helping each other clean up after the storm. Friends are staying up late at night to talk about nothing, everything, and all that's in between.
People are connecting.
So, why are you sitting at your lunch table all alone? If you want time to be solo, then I accept your plight. But, if it's to hang your head in self pity and darkness....that's another story.
Open your eyes. See the awesome world for what it is, just that.
Being alone is just fine, in fact I find it's my favorite part of the day. Just reflecting, with a silly grin on my face, about how things are changing and life is brighter. Not everyday...the bad ones still come, but the moments of darkness are fewer and far between.
There is a difference between being alone and being lonely. I don't think you realize it yet. When you do, I'll be here. We can be alone together.
In peace.
Smiling like idiots.
I can hardly wait.
:-)

interesting sentiment
ReplyDeleteI love solitude. I am seeing some of the same things you are Erica. Life is grand, still some darker days but usually they clear by just making a short gratitude list.:) Love your writing.
