In the lonely apartment, where I sometimes take refuge, there is solace if you know where to look for it. It is not to be found in the emptiness, of course. It is to be found in the fullness that becomes evident when one listens.

dear Kevin,
it will, no doubt it will happen, when and only when you´re ready to receive it,
I´ve learnt lately to enjoy this solitude,though more than once I find myself ready to start grumpily complaining about it, when, alas! I remember my choice, then, confirm myself the richness of whatever you´re able to find out when in solitude, silence becomes one of our best assets, so to speak,
I couldn´t and wouldn´t agree more with your words!
here´s one of my favourite phrases:
´ama la realidad que generas y nada detendra tu vuelo´
on the belief you handle Spanish confidently, I´ve made up my mind not to translate it,
cheers!
The ideas have always been clear,but the words and phrases acquire more powerful and subtler meanings with their new combinations.
Hearing your voice now (pauses,voice quality,tone) is a privilege for those that appreciate your writings, your comments on life, feelings. A real treat for the non-native teachers of English.
