I feel lonely. I do not know why. Today it just hit me, very strongly. I was putting some things away and reorganizing my bookshelf and then it hit me. Like a freight train or a ton of bricks. I realised that time does pass, that people move away and you might never see them again. People you love, even people you dislike. They role in and out of your life before you realise you love them and miss them. How strange that really is.
Went to one of my mentor's houses for dinner. It really was wonderful. He has a wall filled with books. a library, but those are the books he doesn't really like...the good ones are in his office. He and his wife absolutely love each other and love their kids. The kids are all highly intelligent and love chess. The food was good, the drink was exquisite. The port was delicious. However, the amazing thing happened later. Here we were speaking of dealing with the implications of a finite life, about good illusions and bad illusions, as had sat there with his two year old son in his lap. It was amazing to think about.

I'm sorry you're feeling lonely. It's a horrible sensation, I know it quite well.
