Grateful that my love for solitude does not diminish my capacity to love others.

Whenever I start feeling frustrated by the kids constantly needing my attention, following me around, and taking an interest in everything I do, I remind myself that I do the same thing to Daren and more. And that my time with them is ephemeral and finite just like it was with my loved ones who passed away.

I want these children to carry the memory of the love I give them. So it must be pure and resilient and calm, completely free from the shadows of burden. It must be kind and patient and generous and sweet.

I want them to learn through my example that their worth is inherent and unconditional, never to be compromised or diminished. I want them to find a sanctuary of boundless love with me and then keep it in themselves forever so when I am gone, theìr spirits are cherished without condition by themselves always.

I need some of that energy, because for sure being satisfied by solitude can make you too tired to take part in anything else, SW for me is like a training ground on how to get invested in a larger picture kind of dynamic. Thanks you wise and special lady!!

@SW-User Yes. Being comfortable and finding joy in aloneness is very powerful, yet also very detaching. Differences look bigger for some reason and the tolerance fuse gets shorter and shorter..A sweet spot in between is healthy but I guess the middle way won't always be the same for everyone since we are all taking different paths in life.
You are welcome 🤍
