Lonliness

"Nighthawks"
Edward Hopper

Edward Hopper really captures a sense of lonliness in this painting. They're all in this little diner or bar, and yet they're alone- even the couple. I feel this way. I'm surrounded by people, and yet I'm facing a void. I'm lonely. I am lonely.

I suppose we all end up at "Phillies" from time to time. I always felt what was particularly clever about the painting is that they are behind the glass, like trophies in a case. Again, surrounded by people looking at and admiring them, yet still quite alone.
Best of luck in your new home.
