How do you respond to being alone?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 14, 2008:
I love being alone; I enjoy my own company and the silence ~oh, the Silence!
I have time to create, when I am alone. That, in itself, is very precious to me.
I have good friends, very good friends, & I welcome their company :)
Over the years, I have discovered that Alone and Lonely are two different things. I don't recall being lonely since I was a child; it was then, that I learned to enjoy my own company.
A young lover told me once, "I finally understood, yesterday, why you like being alone so much... I LOVE being alone with you; you must love it too." That may well be the sweetest compliment I've ever had.
How would it be to not like being alone? I don't know; I honestly don't. I'd have to be an entirely different person, I guess.
I am so grateful for my talents; they keep me company. I am so greatful for God and beauty and silence. They say "Silence is Golden" but I think, maybe, it's a rainbow.
Namaste
