Alone Is ...

Alone = Not one in 7 billion people knows where you are. I understand how that could be frightening. I find it exhilarating. It is a state of being that is entirely unfettered.  This is one reason why running and trekking in the wilderness is the most purely authentic experience I know. Maybe it is like the sensation of an astronaut in the void of space, but with air. Or being in a bubble absent of any false distractions, except it's an everted bubble, where the non-sense is on the inside and I am out here.  This type of alone-ness is beyond the physical.  It seeps into your mind like a drug, and similarly can elevate your awareness or make you totally nuts.  I highly recommend it.
