This is well written and carries both sadness and happiness--'twined. I feel the emotions pouring out, as I go--hoping, as I go, you are the hero throughout...and you are, Tony. You have conquered/humbled, "self"--it shows here. Very deep look and expression. Thanks for sharing this one.

Dear Anthony, These words are not worthy of a great fire fighter sailor, (A world of an amorous past with a heart filled with loneliness
A parallel world of infamy
Wasted on the "good, the bad", and me)
Please never let the sadness captivate your heart. When we came here on earth, no one told us either the purpose or the length of our stay. Therefore we should not have any claims. The only choice we have is to enjoy what we can and take life as it is. Keep going my friend, I am with you. Love Emile

THE IMAGERY IN THIS WORK IS VIVID AND I AM PRAYING THAT YOU DIDN'T STAY IN THIS MOOD TOO LONG, 'CAUSE...YOU HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF LIVING TO DO...SO, THE QUESTION IS THIS; IS THE BOTTLE HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY? I GUESS IT'S HOW YOU LOOK AT IT. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS AND INSPIRE YOUR 'VOICE' AND LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

I have to ditto Amber on this one!!

Love Tinka

I think in life, we are very adaptable to our surroundings. We take life as it is presented to us without any regrets. For if we do, we are being too hard on ourselves. I'm married, but I feel this "Aloneness" every once in a while, even when I'm not being alone. These feelings will pass when we've found something that we like to do to take our minds off from the real problems in our lives. A few months ago I felt like I was a walking corpse, an empty shell; but today I don't feel like that anymore, and I thought of all the wonderful things that I can remember that had happened in my life, and I can easily say that I have enjoyed it up to now, including the bad times.

I think that when you're feeling lonely, or alone, you'll need to find something to do, something that may interest you, to set your mind off from feeling "lonely". To others, they may say I'm like a big kid in facebook, but if it weren't for the games, I would not know where I would be, or whether or not I would still be here writing this to you. The games work as a self-therapy for me, and I soon had discarded those "walking corpse" feelings. It works. I'm happy now, and am ready to go back to writing my books once again.

You may also check with your close relatives, to see if they would go one trips with you. Sometimes, being away from home would give you a better feeling about everything, for you will see the world differently given a fresh surrounding.

Hope this feelings of "loneliness" will pass you soon. I think it's a phase we all go through at one time or another.

Hugs,

Sandie Angel :o)

Tony, Nothing is ever wasted, it is what it is, turn loneliness into aloneness with the spirit of knowing you have each day as an open pallet and you can do with as you please with not having to answer to anyone!!!!! That is how I feel with my life..I would love to have a lover/partner, but the Universe chooses to have me go solo for now..I embrace my aloneness and live life to the fullest...
Much peace, love, and light dear friend,
Amber
