Solitude

Solitude

July 18, 2011 Jeanne Obbard

Some beautiful words about solitude and self-acceptance.

Long seeking it through others,

I was far from reaching it.

Now I go by myself;

I meet it everywhere.

It is just I myself,

And I am not itself.

Understanding this way,

I can be as I am.

-Tung-Shan
