The Fence Shadow-KP-2015
Solitude does not scare me.
I have worked alone for years.
Found peace in the quiet of my occupation.
Separate from the needs of others.
Mind focused, fingers flying.
Immersed in the creative act.
It is the unoccupied mind that terrifies me.
The quiet moments between things.
Between work and books,
family and friends.
Afraid of the quiet within.
The foolish words spoken,
The failures,
The regrets.

Enjoyed your post and sending thoughts your way xxx Love Sue
Life’s transitions can be difficult. We don’t always realize how much structure, connection and purpose we derive from our work. Take care Sue….Kim
Kim, Lovely insight here on the difference between being alone and truly being in what I would call solitude- empty time where we do not reach for content (book, movie, visit, work etc.) but are truly with the silence and the stillness and ourselves. It is a practice, and one- I think- that we must feel called to do. Challenging but rewarding. It makes space for something unexpected to happen. O xo
Thank you Oriah…I am in between things; looking for work/job; vacillating between terror about never being employed again and fear that I will get hired too soon!!
