Pat said...: Rob: I'm wondering which phrase?; 7:12 PM
Rob Windstrel Watson said...: 'If you are afraid of loneliness, don't marry' :-)

There is such a wealth of meaning open to interpretation implied by that single phrase.

I remember a dialogue when one character said:

"You can't imagine how it feels to return to the loneliness of an empty house."

The other replied:

"But can you imagine how it feels to return to a house that is full of people, yet to feel completely alone."; 8:02 PM
Pat said...: Rob: I can remember that feeling.; 8:25 PM
Rob Windstrel Watson said...: Me too.

I must weave it into a story one day :-); 8:49 PM
Pat said...: Rob: that can be therapeutic.; 11:53 PM
