Who I am,
Where I am,
Entwined as one.
Where I am defining
Who I am.
Location, place,
Informed by time.
Time realized through age.
Age collecting fragments
Of time and place.
Who I am,
Where I am,
Entwined as one.
But disturbning time and place,
A disturbance infused with uncertainty,
Brings anxiety.
Relocation.
An uprooting from place.
Disturbed roots,
A feeling of loss.
Loss felt as loneliness.
Who I am,
Where I am,
Entwined as one.
New city, new job, new coworkers,
But no place to live.
No place to call home.
A house yet to be found.
Family anxious to join me.
Everything seems unreal, unsettled.
Lonely.
Who I am,
Where I am,
Entwined as one.

Thank you, Teri. In future posts I will continue to explore the times and ways loneliness has intruded into and persisted in my life. Looking more deeply into this is beneficial for me, and may be helpful to others.
