The great omission in American life is solitude; not loneliness, for this is an alienation that thrives most in the midst of crowds, but that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incubator of the spirit.  ~Marya Mannes

It's funny how sometimes in solitude I realize how much I'm not alone.. while in the company of people a certain chill strikes me leaving me to wonder.. is there anyone out there for it seems like I'm always the one left standing alone..
