so

So we are here. You there and me here. Unseen and Unknown. Privy to judgements and scrutiny of those who are strangers. Strangers we wish were lovers, were the friends we thought impossible. Searching for meaning, connection, acceptance. We walk around and around a crowded room and still go home alone. But that is ok. Alone is not lonely. Alone is the freedom to be with someone by choice, by intention. There is substance in what we decide will be full of substance. And beauty comes forth from a place inside that is already beautiful. Knowing one another takes a lifetime and a lifetime is merely these present moments added up.
