Strangely Alone

**musical mood preference: Van Morrison - Baby Please Don't Go**

"The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence." -Thomas Wolfe

Does anyone else get an occasional fleeting feeling that they are utterly alone? It's not necessarily always a bad feeling, just an unsettling one, one that brings the mind clarity. No matter how hard one tries to be open to all people, at unpredictable moments in life, they will inevitably be in a state of unexplainable solitude.

Sometimes being alone is a great companion, other times it can be extremely disheartening and cause distraught.
