One is the Loneliest Number

One is the loneliest number that you’ll every do.
Two can be as bad as one,
it’s the loneliest number since the number one.

Harry Nilsson/Three Dog Night

It is amazing how you can be lonely in a crowd, lonely when surrounded by people that you talk to every day. The missing element is the connection, the intimacy of being able to share your innermost thoughts with somebody else and know that they understand and care. I was reminded of this recently by someone I love very much.

On my journey, I have to do a better job of remembering just to listen, and connect, and not always try to fix things.
