"I Am At Peace With My Aloneness"
In light of my processing today into tonight.........
"I Am At Peace With My Aloneness"
There are some thing I must do alone,
Breathing is not a group activity, Neither is thinking,
I acknowledge my need for relationships,
but I don't define myself totally by the
relationships that I have or by the rules I play.
I must progress in my healing by myself.
I can get the love, support, and assistance of those around me,
but the work that I need to do can't be done by the group.
It must be done by me.
A last I am aware that my growth is up to me.
Ultimately I am facing the fact of human aloneness.
This doesn't meant that I am lonely or isolated. It means that I am
not resisting or denying my responsibility for my own life.
Because I recognize my autonomy and responsibility,
I am not engaged in dependent relationships
that fill an all-encompassing void.
I see myself as a whole and complete person.
I do not cling. I embrace peace with my aloneness.

Funny, but I haven't had much trouble with being alone. Reaching out, relating to, compromising with, acceptance of, other people is more of a problem. Unlike a lot of codi's I learned early on it was safer to just be with me and i always enjoyed that. I married a guy who also enjoyed being alone. We have to remind ourselves and each other to spent time together (though we do talk daily).

Abundance,
I wish I could say that was me
Nope. Definitely a dream of who I'd like to be. I'm definitely a person engaged in a dependent relationship.
Thank you for the poem, I am going to save it. Something to pray for and look forward to.
Thanks!
