quiet

I should be sleeping but of course the computer seems so much more appealing to me at the moment. Sometimes I find peace when everyone else is asleep and the house is completely quite. No one is talking, yelling, or on the phone. TV's are off, kitchen is dark, hall lamps are dimmed. The only noise that keeps me comforted is the clock which rings every quarter hour; something that no matter the hour of the day it keeps things on track, maintaining order of our ever changing time.
Solitude is a funny word when looked at carefully.
>>the state of being or living alone; seclusion.
Then I wonder, seclusion from what? I would have to argue that this definition is only as deep as the sentence fragments it is made of. I do not believe in total seclusion, how can there be such thing?
You are never completely void of your thoughts..
feelings that cannot be logically defined but only emotionally understood.
