Why In Solitude, For Company?

To paraphrase Auden—

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

Among the leaves the small birds sing;
The coyote’s yip commands awaking:
In solitude, for company.

Writing is an act of solitude, but with company in mind. Communication of any form is a miracle. The mere fact that a thought that exists as nothing—nothing more than an electrical charge in one person’s brain, finds form in squiggled dots and lines in pixel or ink, then sparks an electrical charge in another person’s brain and then somehow is held and sustained between the two people is nothing short of miraculous.
