LONLINESS

LONLINESS.....A COIN WITH TWO SIDES...A BITTER-SWEET PILL....A BLESSING IN DISGUISE....AN INVITATION......LONLINESS CAN STRIKE ANYONE AT ANY TIME AND ANYWHERE......IT CAN STRIKE WHEN SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE....IT CAN STRIKE IN THE MIDST OF FESTIVITY.....WHAT IS LONLINESS?  IT IS AN AWARENESS THAT YOU HAVE NOT YET FOUND THAT WHICH YOU ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR.....IT IS AN INVITATION TO SIT DOWN AND REFLECT...IT IS AS IF A CHALK BOARD FILLED WITH YOUR HOPES HAS SUDDENLY BEEN ERASED.  MAYBE, THAT IS GOOD, MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE....MAYBE YOUR BLANK CHALK BOARD IS READY FOR YOU TO WRITE SOMETHING ON IT......MAKE IT A HABIT TO KEEP A DIARY OF YOUR THOUGHTS.  RECORD YOUR MEMORIES...WRITE..WRITE  WRITE...ALSO, PAINT PICTURES....PAINT WHAT YOU FEEL....NEVER MIND CRITICAL ACCLAIM...WRITE..PAINT..WRITE..PAINT.....YOU CARRY WAY TOO MUCH WEIGHT...JUST LET IT GO IN WRITING AND PAINTING....IF YOU DESIRE TO BE IN REALLY BAD TROUBLE..JUST IMAGINE YOURSELF SO DISTRACTED BY NOISE...THAT YOU NEVER CAME TO KNOW WHAT MAKES YOU TICK....YOU NEVER LET IT ALL OUT...YOU JUST COVER OVER YOUR PAIN WITH MINDLESS DISTRACTIONS....YES..SILENCE...NO PARTY....NO NOISE..JUST THE SILENCE OF SELF ALONE WITH SELF...TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO, BUT YOU WILL FIND IT, I PROMISE....GOD BLESS...BOB
