- Solitude: Distinction can be made between physical and mental seclusion. People may seek physical seclusion to remove distractions and make it easier to concentrate, reflect, or meditate. However, this is not necessarily an end in and of itself. Once a certain capacity to resist distractions is achieved, people become less sensitive to distractions and more capable of maintaining mindfulness and staying inwardly absorbed and concentrated. Such people, unless on a mission of helping others, don't seek any interaction with the external physical world. Their mindfulness is their world, at least ostensibly. Annelise Editorial: Yeah, that is what I meant to say. The Gift ~Annelise 2008 So many years ago, Or maybe in a dream, I found a shell on the beach. It was worn, brittle, and cracked. Passed along by the throngs of hunters. It lay separate from the others, Which, when washed upon the shore, had rested, Cozied together, in a neat crescent. I kneeled to pick up my find, Worthless in the eyes of others. I cradled it in my palm for a long time, Taking in it’s every detail, though seeing nothing Out of the ordinary. I held it close to to my ear, Then over the sound of the pounding surf, Or perhaps under or between, it spoke to me, Whispering its mighty secrets. So I put it to my lips To taste the forgotten language. And for a moment, I knew. The beginning, the end, The fractures, the expanses, The answer! It lay right in my hand. I curled my fingers around it And held it very very tight. And I knew. Once more I pressed my lips to it, This time whispering back secrets of my own. On my face I felt the salt form the sea air, Or the burn of love, or the sting of my tears. Understanding then what I must do, I stood up, faced the ocean, And threw with all my might. I set the answer free. I am older now. And sometimes, out of nowhere This memory, this dream, Creeps upon me, hazy, half-formed, and just out of reach. I let its echoes brush my skin, Then fly away, into the wind.

- In Friend
For the first time in my life
I am in friend.
It feels so good to have him.
Separated by many things so
I must pretend.
Tend to my fears
Of unaccompanied passion
To be in friend is blissful tension
Like spring rain and warmth
I'm in friend, an expansion
of myself. - In Friend
