Words of Ruskin Bond and Abba...

'My solitude is not my own, for,I see now how much it belongs to them and that I have a responsibility for it in their regard, not just in my own. It is because I am one with them that I owe it to them to be alone, and when I am alone they are not 'they' but my own self. There are no strangers'.
from 'Confessions of a Guilty Bystander'

Thomas Merton.

That man is the strongest who stands alone.

The things I do best are the those things I do on my own, alone, of my own accord, without the advice or approval of others. Once I start doing what other people tell me to do both my character and creativity take a dip. It is when I strike out on my own that I succeed best.

Be like water, be soft, and clear, it finds its way through over or under any obstacle. It does not quarrel, it simply moves on (Lao-Tzu quoted in the movie – 'Memoirs of Geisha')

Finding sense once again with ABBA...

"They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul.A voyager, ad a settler, they both have a distant goal.If I explore the heavens, or if I search inside.Well, it really doesn't matter as long as I can tell myselfI've always tried."

Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion

Move on

Like a wind that's always blowing, life is flowing

Move on

Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning

Move on

How I treasure every minute

Being part of it, being in it

With the urge to move on

I've travelled every country, I've travelled in my mind

It seems we're on a journey, a trip through space and time

And somewhere lies the answer

To all the questions why

What really makes the difference

Between all dead and living things, the will to stay alive...
