Like you though dear friend, sometimes I just have to step out into the garden, watch the naughty squirrels running up and down the trees, on and off the bird feeders, etc., and listen to the clear notes of a beautiful bird song, and I'm no longer alone.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-2261370689561643322018-04-13T09:01:23.286-07:002018-04-13T09:01:23.286-07:00I love solitude and can sit with it for a long tim...I love solitude and can sit with it for a long time. But I know that connection with others is important for well-being. I also like being alone in a crowd, observing without taking part. A thought-provoking post, Marilyn.

Goodness, David Whyte writes ...Edge of aloneness... Goodness, David Whyte writes so much beauty and wisdom! Aloneness is an interestint question. While I like solitude, and alone time, lonesome is a feeling I've experience before, and sort of goes beyond aloneness... where even one's own company feels empty. I like alone time, as it is it in silence I most often encounter God. I can be a little too interoverted, so I really have to push the edge of aloneness and get out there, out into the world and mingle...because I'm happy when I do that too, for I do enjoy being with others and having real conversation. :) TERRIFIC post, Marilyn ((HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-4194141867782772872018-04-12T11:43:41.699-07:002018-04-12T11:43:41.699-07:00That is SO good!

In fact, it's often what I prefer, being far more of a natural introvert than extrovert. I have a piece coming out soon in Modern Creative Life where that is partly addressed. <br /><br />I love your photo and your thoughts are so very spot on.
