light, shadows and other intangibles
Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.
: Bertrand Russell
At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning for union with one's lost self.
: Brendan Francis
shadows too have their place ... they help us see where light starts and ends ... and sometimes how weak and/or strong that light is ... lately i have been feeling as if a shadow had been lifted, a fog of sorts that had been following me for a while .. it's been a process and even a latest event in my life has made me realize that idea... has solidified the idea that shadows do have their place...
but also there are other things that may seem like shadows, i'll call them a presence .. these sometimes, more often than not, can be a good thing ... and there was this presence in my life that i mistook for a shadow (talk about not reading the signs) ... and now that presence too seems to be gone ... and the less I feel it, the lonelier I become. I didn't realize, until just recently, how much energy that presence was giving me, how much it had been sustaining me ... but, alas, it was my own doing that has caused it to disperse .. to find solace elsewhere ... in the darkness I was in, I confused it with the shadows ... and now that it has weakened, now that it seems to have lost some of its strength, I feel this emptiness, this feeling of loneliness and nostalgia ... of loss ... maybe i am romanticizing things somewhat {as we're wont to do when we remember things past}
