What do I do when I feel lonely?

I peer into the feeling to see what's in there, and then I decide what to do about it.

Sometimes it means a good, cleansing boo-hoo. Sometimes it means reaching out to the people I know are there in the way I need at that time. Sometimes it's thinking about how to do some things differently so that there will be more people of that sort.

Sometimes it's God calling me and me not knowing how to respond.

Sometimes it's me looking in my own navel too much and I decide to go do something for someone else, keep a promise, do a boring task, learn a new thing, etc.

Sometimes it's an overdue nap or a need for a certain kind of movie.

Sometimes it's a need to exercise, hard and breathlessly.


Or sometimes it's just a need to sing.
