2.11.12

bright blessed day, dark sacred night

Futile, burrowing in like this but need from time to time to remember that despite it all one is quite inescapably alone. Alone and uncertain as to how to feel about this.

Relieved, on one hand, for it to be this simple. Apprehensive, as to what long-term fallout may entail. Atrophied heart? Unexploited potential? Or, that worst of worst, having not lived a 'full' life (whatever that may mean)?


Ah. This is when voices like Ms. Kent's, unavoidable burden of 'work' and ceaseless rain helps. Not to say that the people one loves so desperately mean any less, just to remind oneself of one's complete lack of consequence in the big picture. 

Yes, I love.

So what? =)

EDIT:

Since too often only the melancholy registers here and not enough of the content, this merits updating. Serendipitous reconnecting with old friends - sudden phone calls, unexpected e-mails that leave feverish heart even toastier - What can I say?

Alone. Forever, yes, but never really.

Atrophied heart it would be, for me...if I end up with no job at the end of MA. :( Oh GAWD!!!!

Big hug for still -trophied heart. May it stay that way. <3

It is ironic that this knowledge of being all alone is where one can derive strength from.

True, that. After the initial shock, it can be empowering.

I worry sometimes though about how familiar it can get. Living inside one's own little self. Can become addictive. Not sure if that's a good thing either. Oh well - balance, as I always say!

Thanks for dropping in!
