Almost a frickin month! I'm just a zombie today! Worked on my financial aid for Seattle Central CC. Hung out a Horizon Books on 15th with Malinga the cat. Had a long talk with the bookstore guy about loneliness. Found some good quotes online:

With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.
- Eric Hoffer

No my friend, darkness is not everywhere, for here and there I find faces illuminated from within; paper lanterns among the dark trees.
- Carole Borges

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
- Dag Hammarskjold

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

To transform the emptiness of loneliness, to the fullness of aloneness. Ah, that is the secret of life.
- Sunita Khosla

The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, is the central and inevitable fact of human exictence.
- Thomas Wolfe, "Gods Lonely Men"

One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.
- Vincent van Gogh

I still feel like shit...but google literati shit!
