and when I am alone

I was with my family today


and now I am alone in my apartment.

My mind is consumed by need. I am eating snacks and drinking wine.

I realize as is when I am with my family or friends, now alone

I am watching PBS and I realize now I am seeking that sense of belonging as well. 

So I see that this is the case when alone - that I seek the same thing as when with loved

ones, or independent of that company.

Now you went and got Townes van Zandt stuck in my head again. Oh well. . . Townes is not the meanest yaddah stuck in my head.

We all have holes to fill
Them holes is all that's real
Some fall on you like a storm
Sometimes you dig your own

To live is to fly
Both low and high
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eyes.

Of course we feel those holes more when we are alone.

Off topic:
I've been marathoning a BBC/PBS series on Netflix. "Call the Midwife." I can see you getting sucked in as hard as I am.

And you kept it secret?

I've flirted with it for a while, but this go-round has sucked me in hard enough that in season 3 I had to start over to catch the parts I missed.

I think I might *be* Sister Monica Joan. I'd rather be Chummy.
