Subject: [DailyDialogue #166] Loneliness
"Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty."
-- Mother Teresa
"I don't really have someone to practice with" is a statement we often hear. For most of us it is hard to be solitary, and we may experience a wretched loneliness after the loss of a mate. Usually, this loneliness is part of our grieving, and in time, it subsides. We may come to feel a certain comfort in solitude and a pride in our solitary lives.
Being solitary can also be an expansionary time for us. The search for pleasing companionship may take us into unfamiliar settings and activities, which may become immensely rewarding.
Experiment: If you are without a mate, pick someone you particularly enjoy and ask if she or he would be willing to practice dialogue with you.
Affirmation: Solitude, like partnership, is a gift.
