Feeling a little melancholy today. Just a bit adrift. Alone.
Alone is not necessarily a bad thing. I like solitude. I need solitude. Sometimes.
And I like this picture (the original taken at a distance by my lovely mum) because it caught me in one of those moments when alone felt good - a contemplative, expansive, contented place to be.
Today it doesn't feel like that. I don't know why.
But the picture reminds me that it can.

Very nice pic by your mom. I think it captures the mood really well! Alone is such a difficult feeling, isn't it, it is almost impossible to know how to change it from 'melancholic' alone to 'contented' alone. The only thing that works for me, and I'm afraid it is terribly prosaic and superficial, is an engrossing DVD, preferably a thriller. And a good cup of tea. I may not exactly be contented at the end of it, but it kind of shifts the mood.
You're so right anairam, I just need to shift the mood a teeny bit in the direction of contented... I love your idea of a movie on dvd and a good cup of tea! That's a sure-fire comfort combo, and maybe I just need to give myself a little comfort to feel more contented. I'll try it out... I recently learnt to play Texas hold 'em poker (great after-dinner fun) so have been intending to watch Casino Royale again to see how James Bond does it... :)
