Solitude


 It was encouraging to encounter this thought.
I've been ambivalent about the amount of solitary time
I've been experiencing over the past few weeks
as the pandemic "appears" to be fading into history.
Yet, vigilance continues.
For someone whose lived life based on the needs,
 wishes and assumed expectations of those I encounter,
having solitude be "a support and a home"
is a refreshing and challenging endeavor.
It's daunting how deeply ingrained 
the need for approval has been 
etched into my psyche.
