Loneliness
6-28-06
This is the sound of loneliness…
On first thought you’d go to silence. But silence isn’t loneliness and being alone isn’t lonely. The sound of loneliness is being at the airport with no one to meet you and watching and hearing the people around greeting their families joyfully. Feeling their happiness. Even if it makes me smile, a piece of my heart is sad. Watching a couple walk holding hands, knowing you have only your own hand to hold now…and not to tightly because its showing signs of arthritis. I put myself around people who are experiencing joy in their life so I remember to not be lonely.
