A New Perspective!

- inspired from the manuscript found in Accra and revealed by Paulo Coelho


Solitude is not the absence of Love, but its compliment.


Having reveled in the radiance of Love for quite some time, in fact years, things do seem bleak without it. Things lose their charm, the world loses its color.  Love is the divine condition; without it life can seem frightening. But Love need to rest, to spread and reveal itself in other forms. It can't stay caged by the definitions we set. Else it loses its essence.

Solitude is not the absence of company. It is being in the company of one's own self. Busy in the world, desperate to find something to do, someone to care for, something to judge, we rarely give our soul the moment to speak freely, to decide what we want in our life. If we are never alone, we can never know ourselves. And then we are afraid of the void.

A child from a woman's womb ALONE decides if it has to live. An artist is ALONE when he makes his greatest work. We face the most feared moment of our existence, Death...ALONE. Hence, it’s important to realize that at life's most critical moments we are always alone.

It is in solitude that we can discover the love that might have passed by unseen. It is in solitude that we can understand and respect the love that left us. It is in solitude that we can decide whether it is worth asking lost love to return or if we are destined for a new path. It is in solitude that we feel the Divine Energy and its many dimensions that we never cared exploring before.

Only when we let solitude co-exist peacefully with Love, can we begin to understand the miracle called Life!
