Loneliness

How long has it been since you moved slow enough to observe others moving fast?  I spent about 20 minutes waiting for a bus as everyone was going to work and starting their days.  I felt like a complete stranger as I watched all these people, some of whom I know, rush off to the life that I had just a few months ago. 

Even though it has been a short time, that lifestyle seems very foreign to me.  I truly feel that I no longer belong to the world as we know it.  That was a very disturbing feeling.  Maybe loneliness is a good description of how I felt? Not sure but it was an acute emotion that I have never had before. 

Am I lonely? No, but perhaps dispossessed by the world I knew is an more accurate description.
