I keep thinking about all the people and creatures in the world that will never know me or me them. As William Butler Yeats was to have said 'There are no strangers here, just friends you haven't met yet.' I feel sad when I think of all the potential friendships and connections I could have made and yet haven't been able to do so.
Even when I am with people I feel isolated. I feel a bit like the hollow eyed creature sitting up there on a tree branch in my collage above. Always on the periphery. Always on the outside looking in.
Thankfully I enjoy my own company but am occasionally curious to know what it would be like to be with people who truly 'get me'.
I am grateful that I get to know you, at least as much as I can by following your blog. I know the feeling of being isolated with people. Being lonely when you are with people is the loneliest kind of lonely. I love your fairy like creature and the moon as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie. I am grateful that I get to know you too and your part of the world.
DeleteSometimes online friendships can be just as good as the 'real' thing! I also think with the change of seasons and of course all that is going on in the world, it's making most of us pensive.
ReplyDeleteLovely art as always Simone.

You have been a great online friend to me for many years Vivienne. I sometimes get caught up in my own thoughts but realise that many people feel just as I do right now. x
DeleteThanks for sharing your feelings. I often feel this way, too, and it helps to hear how someone else describes it and copes with it. Your art is very moving. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen. I am glad my art moved you - in a good way that is. :)
DeleteI understand that feeling. I'm a social person, but live a solitary life, and I am not sure why that is.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Debby. :)
