Thank you, Deb. We have so much noise or sounds surrounding us these days it is hard to even think. I live rural and there is still what I consider noise going on so much. I appreciate the visit and uplifting review. Sara K.

Dear Sara, Congrats on POTD! There is an immense difference between merely being lonely and choosing to use isolation as a workspace. Your line, "Separation helps form questions / Needing answers," strikes at something incredibly fundamental. In my own life and the years I spent helping others unpack their inner landscapes, I’ve found that we often run from silence because the silence demands honesty from us. But standing still long enough to "remember where you've been" is exactly how we map the terrain of who we actually are right now. Excellence at all Levels!! Blessings,, Daniel

Thank you, Daniel. Yes, we have to explore our past from time to time to figure out who and what we are and where we can go from here. Thank you for the time spent here reading and commenting. Sara K.
