Standing alone

They say it's lonely at the top. But you can be a leader at the bottom too - and that can also be lonely.

Aloneness, stepping out of the crowd, leaping into the unknown is disorientating. When I have had the impulse to act liker this it is often immedisately followed by a sense of void. That I have stepped off a cliff into nothingness. That my mind and my body have become a void.

Then the void is filled in with self doubt and general wobbliness.

Usually afterwards I realise these are some of my finest moments. And some of the most dangerous. No safety in numbers if you're a lone voice.

But then hey, someone's got to do it.
