When time seems to stand still (alone time)

It's a quiet day of services and laundry here.

I had the sense, when back in my cell/room, that

everything I was supposed to take care of was done,

and everything that I could afford to do financially was

also covered in terms of abstemiousness from spending.

I was lying on my bed, waiting for the load of laundry to be 

complete and I just felt I had NO OPTIONS for what to think

of doing with myself or with my time in my room. Blue was lying

at my feet.Time stood still because I was frozen in my tracks. But then I struggled

with it - and went down to the laundry room in the basement

and I sat there waiting for the end of the cycle. I thought about

how we all have to deal with our alone time - those moments

in between social contact or work or just plain shared time.

I got the sense of normality from that. Of commonality

and interdependence too. Things are good.

Have a great rest of the day folks! (HUG)
