Polly, you are a wise, insightful and a very beautiful woman...thank you for being reflective and sharing your understanding. Your thoughts appeared at a good time. When I read this post, it was as if we were together, in the same room, sharing meaning and experiences. If time ever appears for you, and you feel like beginning a new mail relationship , I know a man in a colder part of the world who would like know more about you. Keep writing, Polly!!

Dearest Polly, You've conjured up memories of me coming back after a day’s work to a place cluttered with a disarray of kid’s things, endless noise and the smell of food cooking. A time when these walls contained that ‘happy family’; when this house was a home. Was it only yesterday or a lifetime ago?

It is so interesting that you bring this up. So often this feeling of loneliness can happen even in the company of others, of people who are "close to you", especially when that warm glow in their eyes is missing. I know so well what you mean and could not have described it better than you have.

I have often had the desire to go on retreat from the world....from my mate for a couple weeks...perhaps a month....just to feel what it is like to be alone for a long while. I think part of my desire to do that, is that I often don't recognize my loneliness and I end up trying to medicate it with food or sex or whatever. I would just like to face loneliness head on for once and learn to be alone with myself. How long did you live in the Buddhist community? Would love to hear more about that sometime. A very thoughtful post....may your choice to spend your holiday away turn into a grand adventure....and rest assured some of us will await your return...with smiling faces.
