Feeling Lonely, even in good company. I may be suffering from Phantom Loneliness When I feel nobodys company nurtures me or feel that my company is no value to anyone then I know I am likely to be suffering from Phantom Loneliness. I have realised it is a symptom of resistance to taking time out for healthy restorative and clarifying solitude. I recently convinced myself I was experiencing loneliness but I in fact was resisting a call from deep within to embrace my own company. Solitude is a form of hibernation for the spirit. Without taking some time out whenever a winter of discontent arises in my life I have always ended up buckling under pressure for me to be answerable, accountable and available to the world outside. I have been compelled recently to go on long silent walks, to just sit and stare at a blank wall or stop in the middle of the street and start capturing every detail of the pavement upon which I stood. These are not the first symptoms of breakdown, they are the first signs I am simply building my capacity to take a break from being outwardly answerable, accountable and available to becoming inwardly so towards my own soul. I cant help myself in saying Yes to being recalled to my own centre. The roots for my tree of life are inside my solitude and the fruits outside in the world. I cannot bear fruit when I cannot nurture my roots, so embracing solitude will always bear me the company that can feed me as well as awaken others. Jazz Rasool
