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

Hi ananda
I love these thouhgts and how you tell this! I love how you share that being alone and lonely are two different things. This is so true. Living remote as we do, alone is part of the package and I LOVE it, this is why I am here. I also absolutely LOVE the line that was bestowed upon you by your young lover…”I Love being alone with you; you must love it too.”
I find it takes two to three days for the chatter to calm down when company arrives from the big city to stay with us. They bring their energy with them and I can feel it when they come through the door. By the third day or so I often find my company outside wandering alone…I am happy for them that this is here for when they need it to recharge some.
Great, great thoughts!
Thank you, Denim and Nicole ~ thank you for resonating and taking the time to respond :) It's so wonderful to meet kindred spirits ~ and Gaia is such a lovely place to do that.
