What if...

You could conquer feelings of loneliness everytime they reared their ugly heads?

This passing thought came after I experienced much loneliness when I try to slow back down to the pace of a small town after traveling for weeks in big cities, in the stress of family sickness -feeling overwhelmed and unable to do anything, in a crowded room where you feel very alone in your thoughts, or thinking about my grandpa in a nursing home when you are not sure what your body is telling you and you no longer have years ahead of you.

If you could only conquer the feelings of loneliness now and become an expert at it, then always be okay with the silence, the company of yourself, with the time you have, in the space you are at, no matter what is happening, or whatever season you are in. What an amazing feat.
