As I sit here writing, I hear the sound of singing frogs in the distance. I hear the sound of a river not of water, but of cars. Still beautiful nevertheless. Above me in the clear dark sky I see the shadows of evergreen trees and the silver twinkling of faraway stars.
There's a difference between being lonely and being alone. Enjoying one's company and solitude in the beauty of such moments is a precious gift.
It's clear to me that the rejection by one is not the end of the world because the world is full of people. There is no excuse to be lonely. People put up barricades of judgement, fear and other excuses to keep people at bay.
As Helen Keller once said: "When one door of happiness closes, another one opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."
Yes, even in challenging times, there are also true moments of beauty and of happiness. Being able to share such moments with people who truly want to share with us is a special gift. I feel blessed to count in my life people who truly love and appreciate and want to share moments of happiness with me. Recently a friend of mine shared with me this beautiful view as we took a sunset drive together.
But in this moment as I sit alone writing on my computer, I share my insights and this view with whoever happens to visit my blog in the big, wide wonderful world of the web...
