I wrote a poem in 3rd or 4th grade that went like this:

It is quiet, it is peaceful
When no one’s around
I am alone for once
I don’t want to be found

Truly dramatic if you consider that I’ve always been an extrovert. However I did have two brothers and I loved to read by myself so maybe that was my mindset? At any rate, I look at this shot of Maralee working in my quiet basement and those lines—as well as these lyrics—come to mind. ;)
