You gave me a flash back to years ago, when living in The Village, NYC, I'd go into the Barnes and Noble on a grey, drizzily day and snuggle into the couch with a book, that as a young student I couldn't afford to buy. They never raised an eyebrow. Thank you so much, Elsa, for sharing your thoughts and writings that often come from "the deeps."

While living in Tucson I went to the used book store often. They had an arm chair. Now my used book store is online, like most of my friends. Yes I know loneless, been alone with the animals for 15 years now. Feeling uncomfortable around people, and more so during these last 4 years.

thank you for posting this beautiful poem ! Know that you are not alone, we are with you in the Spirit.

... you are not alone - your words could be my own biography - started like a slow drip - now washes over me in waves. Lonliness is for those who can take it... as painful as it might be.
