and a rock feels no pain.
and an island never cries.
- paul simon, composer
i decided a long time ago that the song to be played during my funeral would be john lennon's "in my life". somehow, i think paul simon's "i am a rock" is more apt and closely describes my life. while i may seem to people and my very few dear friends (they know who they are) that i am an extrovert, the truth is i am not. i prefer to be on my own most of the time. i am not a team player although i could get along with people. i don't need much entertainment and i have enough activities to keep me busy but i suppose a little socializing is my respite, a brief pause that is rather essential, but a pause nevertheless.
itiofd, these are merely pebbles, the size of my thumbnails. they're not rocks, they're not even stones, just little pebbles.
the snow has arrived. reports say we will have about 15 centimetres by the time it's done with us. that is a lot of centimetres!
My brother and I had a conversation today. He informed me that I needed to get out and be with people. I guess he wasn't listening when I told him what I do when we talk. But I agree with you Vikki. There are times when I could scream because I've committed to doing something with others. I guess I'm banking social networking for the time in the future when I won't be able.
A lovely image of the stone/pebbles stacked in the low light.
I love the light on this shot. John Lennon's Imagine should be played at my funeral. I'm also glad to hear others think of stuff like this and I'm not the only one.
I laughed recently thinking it would be fun to have the Darth Vader Theme played at my funeral. I do think no company is far preferable to bad companions.
Nice viewed on black. The quote I relate to…””I don’t hate people. I just feel better when they’re not around.” -Charles Bukowski. I’m happier with people in small doses. :)
Lovely pebbles especially when seen on a Black background .
Vikki I thought that you were describing me. @randystreat I often commit to events as I feel that it’s healthy to do so but actually enjoy my own company.
Let me add my two cents up there along with @randystreat@wakelys and @casablanca. Probably one of the reasons why I did not struggle with the Covid isolation, as so many seemed to. it really wasn’t much of a sacrifice for me. with this day and age of social media communication it is still easy to be in touch with people when one wants to.
Sue had a good suggestion for your photo, and when I viewed it on black, it was even more magnificent FAV
@wakelys@casablanca@grammyn I agree with you all. Katy, Covid was ok with me too. I have lots of stuff I like to do and they don't require I do them with anyone else.

I agree I seemed to be I the minority to actually relish the peace and quiet of lockdown.
