                                 in this world you stand alone

"Never alone am I, no matter how strong the feeling that may overcast my soul."

Even when utterly alone, the self is forever relational, and therefore always looking... at something. At times with the bird's eye view, it looks up to see cosmic origins, at another time it glances down to see the hardened cocoon of the body. And then it sees that there are other meshes, of gender, culture, times, ambitions, or just the greatest restriction of all, the compulsion to communicate, the greatest illusion of our lonely lives.

If you try to find the bad in someone you will always succeed, but you will never learn to love unless you learn to search for the good.

Its no good trying to get rid of your aloneness

At times!

"Our reason has driven all away.
Alone at last, we end up ruling over a desert."

"Solitude is learning that we are not alone when we are alone."

It takes community to maintain a human.

When I was alone and had nothing
I asked 4 a friend 2 help me bear the
pain no one came except...God
When I needed a breath 2 rise
from my sleep no one could
help me except.... God
When all I saw was sadness
and I needed answers no one
heard me except.... God
So when I am asked whom I
give my unconditional love 2
look for no other name
except...God!

It is always & inevitably lonely out on the growing edge

Everything looked and sounded unreal.  Nothing was what it is.  That's what I wanted -- to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself.

Every one must bear his own universe, and most persons are moderately interested in learning how their neighbors have managed to carry theirs.

The anguish of my life here - its rages - is hardly mentioned...There is violence there and anger never resolved.  I live alone, perhaps for no good reason, for the reason that I am an impossible creature, set apart by a temperament I have never learned to use as it could be used, thrown off by a word,a glance, a rainy day, or one drink too many.  My need to be alone is balanced against my fear of what will happen when suddenly I enter the huge empty silence if I cannot find support there.  I go up to Heaven and down to Hell in an hour, and keep alive only by imposing upon myself inexorable routines...It may be outwardly silent here but in the back of my mind is a clamor of human voices, too many needs, hopes and fear.  I hardly ever sit still without being haunted by the "undone"...

The ambience here is order and beauty.  That is what frightens me when I am first alone again.  I feel inadequate.  I have made an open place, a place for meditation.  What if I cannot find myself inside it?

Alone in my room, I could settle so easily into the solace of things and stare at them for hours.

From all kinds of flowers,
Seek teachings everywhere,
Like a deer that finds
A quiet place to graze,
Seek Seclusion to digest
All you have gathered. . .

The strongest man in the world is he who stands alone. 

My soul often mourned of more time and opportunity to be alone with God

"We are one...alone...and only...and we love you who are one...alone...and only. We looked into each other's eyes and we knew the breath of a miracle had touched us, and fled, and left us groping vainly. And we felt torn, torn for some word we could not find."

A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings. Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without its nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.
