Yes, loneliness can a void of emptiness. We speak but yet we are are not listen as if we was air we breathe. Not seen but only when we blow. You take the time to reflect on your own being, even when alone we see beauty in the world. Sense of things that make us happy even in thought. Don't find yourself in a rut but always digging the trench for run off. Much love ?? God's n~mine

So many questions. This journey throughout life, that we all take to find ourselves is so intriguing, and a journey indeed. Please don't feel alone--there's a world full of people feeling the same. *Smiles* to you Irma.
