Lost in the middle of all these individuals
yet connected to them - but above all, lost.

Have you ever heard of the principle of "Six Degrees of Separation?" If not, what it says, in short, is that of all my aquaintences and friends, one of them knows somebody who knows somebody else yadda yadda the fifth person in that string knows YOU the sixth person. It theorizes that between YOU and the remotest person on the planet, in the jungles of the Amazon or the plains of Tasmania -- there are six degrees of separation between all of us! It would be difficult to prove, but it has stirred a lot of thought, a movie starring Donald Sutherland, no less with that name! An aspect of this write brought that to mind.

Donald Sutherland the actor? I think he happens to be my uncle's cousin. But yes, that's one way to put it. I consider today's often-pronounced isolation not to be so powerful or, predominant because we have found other means of linking our emotions.
yadda yadda.
