Solitary 1 Life
"Music I heard with you was more than music." Exactly. And therefore music itself can only be heard alone. Solitude 2 is the salt of personhood. It brings out the authentic 3 flavor of every experience.
"Alone one is never lonely: the spirit adventures, walking in a quiet garden, in a cool house, abiding 4 single there."
It takes a while, as I watch the surf blowing up in fountains at the end of the field, but the moment comes when the world falls away, and the self emerges again from the deep unconscious, bringing back all I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly understood, when I can converse 5 again with my hidden powers, and so grow, and so be renewed, till death do us part.
Loneliness is most acutely felt with other people, for with others, even with a lover sometimes, we suffer from our differences of taste, temperament 6 and mood. Human intercourse 7 often demands that we soften 8 the edge of perception, or withdraw at the very instant of personal truth for fear of hurting, or of being inappropriately present, which is to say naked, in a social situation. Alone we can afford to be wholly whatever we are, and to feel whatever we feel absolutely. That is a great luxury!
