alone not lonely

We spoke about the uncertainty but necessity to work. The joy of the process. Family and their struggle to understand our need for space and quiet. We spoke about my father's death and her mothers struggle with dementia. She told me about the challenges of having a long distance relationship with the German guy she was seeing. What I liked as we talked was the fact that as she was saying things, she was working, and her strength in herself was and is so much bigger than anything else. I loved that. So many times I find myself admiring certain people, and what I am usually looking at is the visual of the moment. On closer examination I see that what I am looking at is what can only be seen as peace.
