Do not be afraid to embrace the arms
of loneliness.
Do not be concerned with the thorns
of solitude.
Why worry that you will miss something?

Learn to be at home with yourself
without a hand to hold.
Learn to endure isolation
with only the stars for friends.

Happiness
comes from understanding unity.
Love
arrives on the footsteps of your fear.
Beauty
arises from the ashes of despair.
Solitude
brings the clarity of still waters.
Wisdom
completes the circle of your dreams.
