This was so beautiful and haunting. This needs to be read out loud, I can’t wait until I’m alone later in the day so that I can do that. Thank you for sharing, I needed the magic of these words.
Funny, not funny. Lately I've also been dealing with loneliness even though it seems like I'm surrounded by people 24/7. Family, coworkers, etc. My escape is to spend time alone by the sea, at the marina on my sailboat. Maybe my lonely feelings are just my subconscious reminding me to get away and reconnect with my spirit and soul. Think I need the quietude to still all the voices competing for attention.
I know the feeling...sometimes being around people or things we're not truly connected to can amplify the loneliness. In a way it's a blessing because it inspires one to seek the connection elsewhere! Always like to hear mentions of your sailboat, sounds idyllic! And sorry for my late reply, Substack comments have been on my to-do list for a while. I like to take my time over them with a cup of tea in hand :)
Aw no worries on the timing of the reply's. It's amazing to me that you find the time to read and answer all the comments. What matters most of all for your fans and readers is your writing which inspires and touches us.
