“Loneliness can be conquered only by those who can bear solitude.” Paul Tillich
I craved the silence
until it crashed hard against me,
leaving me breathless for more,
wanting to run from the precipice
of that dance of paradox,
wanting not wanting,
having, resisting,
taking a leap,
being caught up by those
non-existent arms,
cradled against the lonely,
held within the chaos,
safe in my uncertainty.

There’s nothing like paradox, besides I believe we live a lie if we don’t acknowledge it, it is always there. Thanks for that Liz

A very good description of what happens when we are confronted with loneliness, and silence. We all want to be selfish/ egoists. 😉 Thank you, Paul! Great thoughts, just in this time of arranged silence. Stay well and save. Michael
