[OSList] Lonely

[Rosa Zubizarreta via OSList]

Peggy, thank you for the beautiful phrase and story... "the radiant
network"... :-)

and Chris, thank you. That is the first time I have heard of "I belong to
everything" as a more accurate version of "all my relations"... it
resonates.

Annamarie, in Spanish (which is my mother tongue), we say "bien acompañada"
as the opposite feeling of lonely.

It means, "well-accompanied" or "well-companioned", neither of which I hear
used in English as frequently
as "bien acompañada" is, in Spanish...

with all best wishes,

Rosa
