Eleven days later

A long silence.

Silence for whom? Perceptible only to me. Silence does not exist when you are alone.

Talking presupposes a listener. Even in a soliloquy you split and talk to yourself.

I love solitude. It is the peace of the mind. Nothing can go wrong, everything is under control.

I think it was it Erich Kästner who wrote:

Einsam bist du sehr alleine
doch am schlimmsten ist die Einsamkeit zu zweit.

(Alone you can be very lonely
But loneliness is worst in a pair).

I never feel lonely alone. Or in the middle of a crowd. But in a room with a few people… or just one…
