isolation

[asterroc]

There is rain outside. I can hear the water pouring down off the gutter of the condo/house next door. My bedroom is heated and warm, the only lights are its glowing on/off switch and the computer. I can almost feel like I'm the only one in the world, like nothing beyond this room and the sound of water exists. If I peeked between the slats of the wooden shades I would see only gray fog. It's a comforting thought, like when I realize that with all the billions of stars we are just tiny specks the universe doesn't care about.

Sometimes it feels good to be the only one around... as long as you know that it is just a moment in time. Even with kids we can still have moments like this, but they are to be welcomed!

I also wanted to try out your comments section here on LJ (but my little brain cells just can't get round the OpenID thing!) .... and I really ought to log your urls for this and yer science blog I like :-)
