Who We Know Ourselves To Be
For some, the antidote for loneliness is to be in the
company of another.
For others, the solution to loneliness lies in keeping
ones own company.
Steeped from birth that we are created for relationships,
I have been tempted to defer to the former as a
solution.
Singularity seems to contradict such teachings.
Yet oddly, I've discovered the latter serves me well.
Is it peculiar that I find comfort, cheer
and
even contentment within my own frame?
So, if you should see me seated at a table
set for one with a candle burning;
I hope you will perceive it simply as
one her knows
herself to be.
Hi Roseanne this fantastic! I love the pictures and it is true I am one that loves the comfort of one self.
ReplyDeleteTalk about a slow response. I just started at writing again. I started a new blog, i think, lol, yesterday's post seemed to disappear. I posted it on FB, trying to learn how to use instagram. wow, I've really forgotten all the stuff we learned in library school :( Blessings, Roseanne
DeleteThis is so true Roseanne. I also find great comfort in "being alone", with no "lonliness". For me, I know I'm not "actually alone", for in these moments, I feel my greatest connection to God......
ReplyDelete:) thank you, that is where I find my greatest connection to God as well.
