A DIFFERENT VOICE

A SINGLE VOICE

  BEING ALONE           

Aloneness is not
necessarily loneliness.
A single voice can also soar.
A duet, a trio or even a chorus
may be desirable
if the right blend
of voices can be found.
If not,
a solo voice,
singing a fine song
is still capable
of making music
that is beautiful.

      Many of us will spend some time, even a long time being alone.
      Learning to make our time alone pleasant and even rewarding takes some special skills which are important for our happiness.
        We need to develop interests and skills to occupy ourselves when, for whatever reason, we find ourselves unable to have other people in our lives.
         Those skills can be hobbies like reading, crafts, walking, the arts, cooking, computers or whatever it is that we can truly enjoy by ourselves.
         The more we can meet our own needs, the less anger and frustration we will feel when others are not always available to fill our needs for us.

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you are alone with.
             Wayne Dyer

I celebrate myself
  and sing myself.
   Walt Whitman
