 Silence in the presence of self One human being, being human Listen to the thunder of a whisper Isolation now a blanket of security Thoughts of jumble, simply erased Uninterrupted pleasure abounds Daydreams couple and mulitply Embracing oneness blessed ~ . . Chris Barker April 2003 ~~~~~ |

How beautiful is this? More than mere words can say... but understanding that solitude can be art, when touched deftly by those who know. |

Chris, this is magnificent. Understanding solitude is not an easy thing, but once it is mastered, it is pure joy. Hugs, Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |

paladin - yes, dear sir, you are correct on that point. Thankyou. Bill - you are too sweet! thanks. Richard - I believe it was one of my favourite speakers and authors, Iyanla VanZant who taught, "never say...I had to accomplish this all by myself....rather I accomplished this "with" myself." Thankyou kind poet. Martie - your words are beautiful. Thankyou!! ctowen - I am blushing...thankyou |

 (smiles) Oh Chris, I love solitude too, well, except I can always use some birds chirping and twittering with joy! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I always love your wonderful contagious smile poems, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery. |

Nothing can improve thoughts from the heart, except perhaps their artful presentation. Nicely done!! KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

This is so wonderful that I've read it several times and waited for days to reply just so I could bump it to the top again. Don't want anyone to miss seeing it. This is a great reminder to enjoy solitude and not misuse it. Shenachie |
