Aloneness

After a great couple of days with new friends, I was alone again, but for a few roadside cows.
  
When hearing that I'm walking a long distance, a common question is, "Do you ever get lonely?" Sometimes I do miss people, but even though I was walking along the side of this road alone, I was happy and exhilarated. Sometimes even singing loudly to nobody.
  

Because aloneness doesn't always bring loneliness.

Sometimes it accompanies the joy and freedom of solitude.
