Perfect summation. That’s exactly what is happening when we’re lonely. We don’t even realize it as we’re so attached to our emotions and to the desire to want what we can’t have.

Thank you for sharing those thoughts. I can see you’re picking up some things from Eckhart Tolle’s book “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose”.

Blessings,

It’s not a giving up surrender or an acceptance where you’re your spirit has been broken. It’s an acceptance in what is at the present moment and after doing all you know to do turning it over to a Higher Source.

That place is where we find peace, solitude, spiritual growth and healing.

When we keep trying to fix things or holding on not wanting them to change is when we feel the despair and loneliness.

It sounds like you’ve found yourself in this quiet place of solitude. What a wonderful thing to share.

Thank you for your reflections and I look forward to having you stop back again to chat.

The solitude brings a richness that I can’t get enough of
Through my discovery of self – its essential especially now

Beautiful quotes Pat!

Yes, solitude and loneliness appear to be similar but are worlds apart.

Whether you’re soaking up peace in solitude or feeling despair with loneliness, it’s a reflection of what’s going on within. It doesn’t matter where you are.

Enjoy catching your posts when I can. Wish I could do more.

Thank you for your continued support. I always enjoy your feedback.

I’ve never heard this put quite this way before, but it’s true.

Years ago I lived on my own. Many of my friends would ask if I was lonely. I wasn’t. I enjoyed the solitude. But in some crowded situations, I have felt lonely.

Amazing how that works….
