7-10-09 Being alone
As a kid, I hated being alone. From my earliest memories till my teens, I craved the company of family, friends or the radio.
In my teens I began to become a little bit of a loner because I was shy. I was a very good athlete and got a lot of attention, which embarrassed me so my respite was staying alone and being within myself.
I was over 60 when I began writing and meditating, both practices bring on a desire for being alone and completely eliminate any feeling of loneliness. In fact, both practices connect me to the entire world in a manner I never knew existed before I began practicing them.
When I was a kid and alone, I felt lonely; now when I’m alone I can be connected to the world or content within myself but never lonely.
Growing up is a good thing, as long as you like yourself.
