~~ Whispers in Time ~~
So hello everyone,
do you ever find yourself alone? I mean to say that we obviously, all eventually feel alone, perhaps abandoned. But have you ever lived with your self alone? For years? With no one to help you pay the rent, or the mortgage? No one around to amuse you in the evening, or make you lunch, or dinner?
Except for a brief stay in life, I am sure that all mature humans have to HAVE experienced this time. You know right? If you have always lived with your parents, or with your favorite roommate, or with other people; Detached, and alone in a place you call your own. How was it?
For time alone is an awesome opportunity to learn about the present moments... Those places where we all should go. Not shared in a classroom with colleagues, but alone with your own angels. It could be that cigarette you smoke alone in the dark, or in the morning sunshine.
It could also be that favorite place where no one can touch you, where you are at one to create, to dream, to express, to learn about life. Real reality. Tell me about it...
I've been blessed with the gift of alone-ness many times in this lifetime. At first it felt lonely, but now I treasure those quiet moments as times of utter peace in the midst of a sometimes too rushed and hectic world.
ReplyDeleteBeing alone is a terrible feeling, The most alone I ever have felt was when my son Chris died. It took all I had to going on living. I just wanted to join him, but my work in this life was not yet done.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are always alone. I sit by myself five days a week. my warmth comes from my two mini poodles. They share my breath. They have taught me that when my time has come to depart from this world of the mundane, I shall release my heart from its emotions and give my mind its freedom. Their will be no fear, their will be no tears, hopefully little pain just satisfaction that I will have loved as much as I could.
ReplyDeleteI have never been physically alone. But in truths, I have always felt alone.
ReplyDeleteGoodness I sound so Emo!
I guess it is because I feel most of the time, as if I can not really voice myself & my thoughts to those(rare few ones) that really matter to me.
JudyCroome,
ReplyDeleteI also have those experiences, and some of them were I would have to admit, the best times in my life. The self discovery, the years spent alone were although at the time not too popular with me, today I can say the best times of my life. However, life today although not alone is also the best...

Wanda'sWings,
ReplyDeleteI have know people like you who have experienced those times. My heart is always with those because they are never really alone.
Remember that...

Nene,
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing your experience with me. It is very touching. Pets are awesome, but I did not have that luxury or luck while I spent time alone. I hope the after life is like you suggest.
:)
PinkPanthress,
ReplyDeleteI too have felt that way, sometimes I still do.
I can remember a time years ago, all alone in San Diego. With many friends and contacts and acquaintances around, walking down 6th Avenue during a major holiday in the winter, feeling the peace of pure loneliness. There were no cars, or taxis passing by, the air was cold, but it was really cool.... if you know what I mean.
Me gusta mucho tu blog, y como sé la de sonrisas que hace un nuevo seguidor, desde hoy te sigo.
ReplyDeleteYo también tengo un blog y me haría ilusión que tú también me siguieras.
Es este:

Un besazo, y te esperoo!
DaniGonzalez,
ReplyDeletegracias por tus palabras muy elegante hescritadas,, Y lla te sigo...
Ciao
I was left alone when my husband died, or I thought so, but for me it was the children, and friends .. and a lot of work. there was no time to grieve loneliness .. Now is a pleasure to be alone, to find their own peace of mind and thought .. the world is very troubled, it requires a lot of all too much .. I choose for myself just for the exercise and your idea of peace. I write and read .. you just have those wonderful paintings .. Native American culture, color .. and beauty .. greatest pleasure is a quiet retreat to me .. three days in only one quietly meditating. it is a step into the unknown. Always innovative experience
ReplyDeleteAikatherine,
ReplyDeleteI always feel so special reading your comments, and you are a good friend. I am happy to hear that you have found peace through all of that loss. My prayers go out to you... :)
This picture is indigenous Native American. Once upon a time here in America. There were many tribes like this one. I happen to have Zapotec blood. From my Grandfather who has blood from Oaxaca Mexico. The heritage of my ancestors from Mexico is very powerful, and special. Especially since I live in a country who mostly does not respect the Original Indigenous Native Americans.
Thanks again for your words...

Jesse
Thank you Jesse, I feel a little better hearing that I'm pretty hahaha (how vain)
ReplyDeleteHmm, you know, most people must've been alone like that some part of their lifes right? I lived alone for 3 years. And honestly, that was a kinf of freedom everyone needs to experience :) But then again, it is nice to have someone next to you sleeping or TV or dinner and all that yes.
Somehow i felt more free when I was alone.
But the paying part you wrote of... I might as well live alone cause I pay everything on my own and half the rent on my own as well. Jupp. To be honest, it was cheaper when I lived alone. (How can that be?) I don't see how that's possible. But I had a lower sallery back then and I always had money. And now my sallery is way higher, and I'm always broka HAHAHA Thgouh my dog costs me quite a bit every month.
take care jesse!

Joanna,
ReplyDeleteI know about the pets we have here, like three cats, and one dog, and we love them dearly, but it makes for a lot of litter box ground, and cat, and dog food is expensive, and then the baths, and the hair clippings, WAY too much dinero...
I sometimes look back on those days, when I lived alone, and they were possibly the best days of my life. Not that I am not happy now, it is just that I can relate with what you wrote, making less money back then, and making more today and still being broke... LOL
Thanks for the comment sweet...
