4.7 Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:
4.8 There was a man all alone;
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
“For whom am I toiling,” he asked,
“and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”
This too is meaningless —
a miserable business!
4.9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
4.10 If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
4.11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone? ~ (Ecclesiastes NIV)

“The more we get together, together,
together…the happier we’ll be.”*
Isolated is alone with myself.
Lonely is alone among you.
Solitary is alone with God.
Amoebas except for the moment of creation
stand isolated, alone, lonely.
Homo sapiens socialize.
Lie down with me. Keep me warm.
Inside
where the loneliness dwells.

Thank you for company
for companionship,
for understanding.
Thank you for being my companion and my
God.
