So many of our decisions are only to comfort an illusion of self purpose and cloud out the worlds imposing uncertinties. In lonelyness we can project meaning and even friendship into the; (whats senceless to others) shadows and empty steps we walk linking our mind to an inner harmonious connection of a spiritual sence. sincerely andrew; peace!
