Alone on the Friendship Bench (Week One)

(Um, this title's sounding a little melodramatic...)
Recovering, this morning, from a demanding commute,
by entering Morris Woods,
re-discovering the friendship bench,
and reading the welcoming words of William James...
looking around me
in the forest primeval....
though (thinking about ticks and poison ivy)
realizing I should have covered myself...
noticing the marks of those who have been here before
feeling alone, yet accompanied...
then: returning....
