So quickly.
Let it cut more deep.
Let it ferment and season you
As few human
Or even divine ingredients can.
Something missing in my heart tonight
Has made my eyes so soft,
My voice
So tender,
My need of God
Absolutely
Clear.
(from an ancient Persian poet, Hafiz)
Don't run from loneliness. Don't see it as your enemy. Don't look for another person to cure your loneliness. See loneliness as a privileged avenue to depth and empathy.
-Ron Rolheiser, OMI , The Lesson Within Loneliness
12 palagay:
embrace loneliness, do not stay away from it, because the more you do, the more you'll get hurt. :)
That's a different, interesting, and fresh view of loneliness.
Solitude is sorrow's salve.
Sharp and overwhelming. Bitter and branding. It affords introspection, inspection and contemplation.
To realize what one cannot from the distraction of engagement. Remember, we are all borne alone. Naked, supine and prone. What we collect in our growth are mere foils to who we are. These are all passing.
We, us, persevere. Reminders of a past lost, portents of a future to gain.
Hmmmm. What's with you Yas and the Constant Bonsaist? Two entries on loneliness on one day.
Sometimes, loneliness, too is necessary.

bagong perspective. thanks ngaun ko lang to narinig.
Sorry, off topic pero nadistract lang talaga ako dun sa picture. Nakakaaliw.
Serious mode na. Although much has been written about loneliness, ang strange no how we all experience it differently. It's a power that you can harness and use at will, lalo na't nasa ganitong mundo tayo where we publish our very insides.
i am not. god knows i am not throwing away this loneliness. the one that's killing me right now while trying to appear as if living.

nakakarelate ako sa post na ito. hayz. emo week na naman for me. it must be the weather again.

without loneliness, neither you nor i would have been written.
parte ng buhay ng bawat tao ang kalungkutan dahil sa pamamagitan nito, natututo tayong mas pahalagahaan yung mga pagkakataon at mga taong nagpapasaya sa atin :P
how is you.
