Loneliness refines you
sensitizes you
it is familiar to me
i'm almost used to it
it comes back around over and over again
its inevitable
and so being with it, accepting it when it comes
is a practice.
You end up deeper and higher.

It is available to us, to treasure this loneliness, access to our souls, who are we whn there is nothing left but us, alone? Who are we and why?
ReplyDeleteI find myself in these moments. And what i have learned, is that if I am sitting still, these precious lessons may vanish as vapor. If I am moving, up to something, challenging my world, the lessons of solitude tend to tattoo me with new knowledge.
'tattoo me with new knowledge' - hauntingly beautiful image. i keep on coming back to this and seeing what my response is, what i think about it. i still don't know.
