Anonymity and Aloneness

How I relish this freedom

Of anonymity and aloneness

I am known to many doubtless

Well, not that many if you ask me

Only some “know” me

And even they do not “know” me

Do I “know” myself is a question

That I know not how to answer.

Ignoring such uncomfortable questions

I am loving remaining in hiding

The only kind of anonymity and aloness

That I can snatch in this society

In which I cannot but exist

Knowing how well and nigh impossible

Survival is on your own

Yet to survive in this society

Sometimes one has to be

Anonymous and alone.

#LonelyAtHolidays? Remember the difference btw #aloneness & #loneliness. Meditation can teach deep lessons of being alone & one w/ oneself.
Not all our friends need to be 2-legged: we walk thru forests of physical & spiritual beings who look on us w/ affection. #companioncreation

Good morning, 🐢🐢🐢

How can people not feel that the world revolves around them? Because in a sense it does, doesn't it? We are all alone in our bodies and everything and everyone else is outside. Hmmm ... at least most of us, I've read about some people who have company, or at least think they do. Here's another thought, in my dreams, I'm usually not alone, there are other people in the dreams. In the waking hours though, we can only interact with other people and things through our senses. Some people, and animals for that matter, for some reason start to feel as if they are part of us, and when they are torn away from us, it feels as if we are losing part of ourselves. Our lives go on.

Their continued existence.” - Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

This weekend is going to be A LOT for so many of us. Whether that’s a lot of people and plans or a lot of #aloneness and perhaps feelings of #loneliness, Christmas can be overwhelming.
Whatever this weekend looks like for you, I hope you’re able to prepare with some #selfcare.
I’ll be practicing #mindfulness and meditative moments wherever I can find them over the next few days.
Have you tried #mindfuleating, #walkingmeditation or, my favorite, watching a pot of water boil?
