There's a grief that lives in awareness itself. The more present you are, the more you feel how fleeting everything is, including the people who passed through your life like weather. Missing a stranger from a train isn't strange. It's what happens when your heart is paying attention.

Yes, I would say you are a sentimentalist. That's a good thing. My husband is too, and that's what I love about him.

Definition of Loneliness

We silly creatures

groping blindly at one another

heads back

listening for something

from behind

eyes focused

elsewhere

hands extended in front

fingertips straining

for contact

for reassurances

for solace

hope

love.

So silly

not to see

everyone else

doing the same.
