LONELINESS "This great misfortune -- to be incapable of solitude." --Jean de la Bruyere Today I am able to live with my loneliness. I know the difference between being "alone" and being "lonely" -- and even in sobriety I experience loneliness. But today I can live with it. I had an overwhelming feeling of being lost and isolated; today it is tolerable. I can live with it. It is part of being "imperfect". I am not God. The reality of spirituality demands that I do not escape into a fantasy that denies my feelings of loneliness. It is part of my journey towards God. I will never appreciate perfect happiness until I rest in God. This I accept. I have many days of happiness and moments of joy --- but I am, at times, lonely -- with feelings of being lost. Today I can accept this -- and talk about it. I accept that part of me will be forever lost until I rest in God.
