“How doth the city sit
solitary that was once full of people.” Leviticus 1:1.
The poet Michael
Gaultieri pointed me toward this passage and it has haunted me greatly at those
times I have felt so utterly alone. I have stared out windows at alien
cityscapes, mystified. I have not adjusted well. Disinterest breeds silence
which is taken for concurrence and for all the good that does I might as
well be playing a mummer.
To be more assertive? Is
that the answer? Or am I spending time in the wrong places? Should I invite
further evolution instead? Perhaps further exploration
is more the right idea, which can be achieved, of course, in new places as well
as the familiar.
