Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than just the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any form of meaningful human contact. Lonely people often experience a subjective sense of inner emptiness or hollowness, with feelings of separation or isolation from the world. (Source: Wikipedia)
a casa foi abandonada, permanece vazia. duma janela avista-se outra janela. o interior é húmido e escuro. onde uma porta enquadra outra porta não se pressentem mais sinais de vida. apenas flutuam aromas, presenças ténues de corpos. o olhar demora-se sobre as geometrias musgosas dos tectos. uma sombra desliza junto ao piano, o estuque esfarela-se, cai. ouve-se um rumor misterioso de poços, de insectos por dentro das paredes. o olhar aprende a ver na penumbra esverdeada das salas. apura-se o ouvido e o tacto quase consegue delinear a presença dos mortos. perco o medo, caminho de corredor em corredor sem acender uma única luz. consigo chegar à porta do quarto da infância, abro-a. o mar pressente-se a partir de um ângulo de treva, rente à cama. alguém fotografa alguém. o espelho acende o meu reflexo. não me reconheço nele. existe uma saída secreta que nunca utilizo, nem mesmo na fotografia. cresci com a casa. a infância desapareceu num recanto quase inacessível da memória. nada resta da travessia alegre dos corpos que nela viveram. nem mesmo se encontram sulcos de chuva nos soalhos ainda em bom estado de conservação. nem ossos de alguma ave que tenha servido de alimento, nem cinzas ou pedaços de carvão, restos de gordura, nada. a luz continua a entrar pelas frestas das janelas mal fechadas. a noite atravessa a casa até aos alicerces de sal. a desolação insinua-se até à medula das madeiras. o olhar esconde algumas imagens da casa, únicos sinais guardados na meticulosa memória de quem com ela viveu. Al Berto in Degredo no Sul [I’m sorry for using the portuguese language but I did’t have the heart to translate such an amzing text (from one of my favorite writers), but if I do find some nice translation I’ll post it. The title means something like ’’To lose fear’‘]

My dear RB friends, I appreciate your comments greatly! I prefer to reciprocate them rather than thank you individually so please do not be offended by my lack of replies here. I shall be commenting on your work instead. Thank you all… Astrid Like a vice it grips me, / Wrenching, unyielding. / This loneliness. / Alone-ness. Despair tugs at my heart strings, / Desolation ebbs over me. / Remorse, self pity, doubt. / Where has hope gone? No way out, / No light ahead, / Just darkness, / Coldness, / Nothingness… It hurts, this void I feel inside! A.Pardew

We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to make it Khumjung on our way back down ‘the mountain’ as the weather was coming in and we were in ‘sleeping bag’ mode. Luckily, the stop offered more than a sighting of the Yeti skull and street lights!! It was already late in the afternoon and the snow had just begun to fall consistently- this lady had also obviously decided it was time to head back indoors.

A poem about the only season worth dying for…Autumn. :) / Sorry…had to say that, and yes, I’m a smart-ass.
One i’ve been saving for a while.
Though many years have passed, since I held you last- / you’re still in my heart and on my mind. / and when I think of you, as I often do- / then I wonder do you ever think of me. Yes, I wonder do you ever think of me- / or am I just forgotten history. I go to sleep at night, and dream about you- / and of our faded love of long ago. / and when I wake up dear, and know that you’re not here- / then I wonder do you ever dream of me. Yes, I wonder do you ever dream of me- / or am I not even a subconscious memory. The years have come and gone, memories linger on- / that time can not erase or time replace. / and when I think of you, as I often do- / then I wonder do you ever think of me. Yes, I wonder do you ever think of me- / or am I just a faded memory. Inspired by conversations with a dear friend…
