...Sweet confinement of your aloneness...

"When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.

When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.

Time to go into the dark
Where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.

There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn.

Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive

is too small for you.

from "Sweet Darkness" by David Whyte

"If you want inner peace.
find it in solitude"
Stewart L. Udall

Not being in a relationship has left me being able to concentrate on little things in my life, like: finishing the remodeling of my house, working in my garden, and trying to cope with the building stress at work... not to mention a new story that started itself in my mind and kept me awake for hours the other day...
A bit of concentrating on me is a good thing right now, I think...
