I don’t want to be alone.

I don’t mean that I always want someone beside me. I spend a lot of time alone, and often seek it out. I walk in the forest alone. I think alone. Some of the most important decisions I have made began by getting quiet enough to hear myself.

And when I think about it, there  is a difference between being alone and feeling alone.

And lately I have been thinking about how difficult it is to find our way back to ourselves entirely on our own.
