This was so moving -- like walking through a history of past lonelinesses and catching a glimpse of those to come. I often wonder what would have happened if I had done a better job of embracing my alone time when I was single/between marriages. I know I value it more now than I did then and yet... there is that ingrained worry about getting too much of what I ask for. I've said in the past that this worry is related somehow to survival, such a basic instinct.

Beautiful writing. The breath-echo inside the tire! So much strong true stuff here.
