One of the skaters at the rink is working on a routine for the upcoming Holiday show. She is skating to a beautiful song sung by Sarah McLachlan, "Song For A Winter's Night",

"The fire is dying now,
my lamp is growing dim
the shades of night are lifting
The morning light
steals across my windowpane
where webs of snow are drifting

If I could only have you near
to breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
and to be once again with with you
To be once again with with you"

I may have to ask her to stop picking music that is so ... that it makes me cry ... frozen teardrops

Here's a link to the iTunes version of the Nettwerk CD release.

Halley talks about being Alone But Not. She talks about the feeling that I sometimes get in the early morning when you wake and are in that tween state of not dreaming and not awake and you remember a feeling that was so familiar. Something that you may have felt thousands of times over the years (365 mornings x 23 years). Is this the same phantom feelings that those who have lost a limb feel? The feeling that someone is there, or should be there next to you, but you know that they aren't. Hence the knowledge that you are alone but somehow you can still feel someone there. Alone but not.

A little while back I was quoting the lyrics of a Mary Chapin Carpenter song about being Alone But Not Lonely. I think that this feeling of alone but not, can work to magnify the feelings of loneliness.  Leaving you both Alone and Lonely.
