"You are not alone." This slogan is so important, yet I often defeat it by my attitude. I cultivate loneliness by refusing to make a telephone call, by avoiding conversation at the EA meeting, or by failing to tell even my best friend how I feel. I say I have no friends. The truth is, I have many friends, but I treat them as strangers. When I am angry, I do not want other people in my life, and yet I blame them for not being there.
May I have the humility to risk inviting others to come a little closer into my life.
I will not nourish my own loneliness by withdrawing from others.
