Did you ever have a friend that suffers from being alone? It is difficult to know what to say to a person in this mental state. Alone can be a state of depression that is sometime unbearable. Alone can be a good time to reflect and make plans for change. Alone can be looking in a mirror at yourself the expression on your face, the condition of your body, being honest with yourself and seeing your soul.
In my case being alone is the plight of the artist. Being engaged to paint what I feel from my soul without interference. Alone with the beauty that is being created stage by stage, layer by layer with the talent that God blessed me with. I am never alone really though as I feel God guiding my spirit as I paint.
Many times I have heard from my collectors that they never feel alone when they have my paintings in their home to look at. How wonderful to express this to me and warms my heart.
To those that feel alone, alone is what you make it. You can stay in a depressed state or you can accept what is offered to you in times that you feel this way or accept that you have to make changes. Only you can make this decision.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up. Pearl Buck
People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges. Joseph F. Newton
The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence. Thomas Wolfe
The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself. Mark Twain
When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing? Epictetus
The eternal quest of the individual human being is to shatter his loneliness. Norman Cousins
They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts. Sir Philip Sidney
No matter how lonely you get or how many birth announcements you receive, the trick is not to get frightened. There's nothing wrong with being alone. Wendy Wasserstein
Language has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone, and the word solitude to express the glory of being alone. Paul Tillich
