Being alone is edifying to some, and uncomfortable for others. Solitude can be necessary for recharging psychic 'batteries' or may create feelings of deficiency. Bouncing ideas of self off another's presence does seem to create a certain dependency . . . who are we -- without someone else's opinion, need or judgment?
Silent connection with one's surroundings presents an alternative view of reality. The one created for us with help from families of origin, schoolmates, community members, even immediate families . . . lends us our identities and forms the image believed to be 'us' -- which when completely alone and disconnected from its origin may not, in essence, really exist.
Aligning the inner self with 'who' we are is divinely inspired . . . some achieve this readily, while many struggle with it endlessly throughout life. It is an inspiring journey; disquieting at times, always fascinating in its simplicity.
