Alone

This picture in all it's aloneness (with moments of feeling you could fall into nothingness) is profoundly peaceful, scary, extraordinary, majestic, precarious, quiet, beautiful, unstable, delicate, empty and full all at once. This has been my experience in the life of being alone.   I thought about sitting in front of a dictionary and thesaurus and raking in 100's of more words.  These actually only touch the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the heart of what aloneness feels like.  

I could share the victories and the mistakes I've made in the process of aloneness, but all one has to do is look around the world, in their neighborhood, go to a movie & get caught up in the storyline, strike up a conversation with a stranger or not a stranger and the experiences of a society of lifetimes all speak books about the abstruseness of being alone.

An acquaintance recently shared this video How to be Alone on Facebook.  She is still in the process of finalizing her divorce.   I have not gotten the chance to really know her, but in the moments we have exchanged hi's and how are you's and also by her Facebook profile - she obviously is a young woman who loves to embrace life in all it's fullness. 

I am always astounded by the commonality of humanity when it comes to matters of the heart.
