Love and Aloneness

Though the journey be inwards,
one is essentially walking
side by side with friends.

Though the solitary
be at times lonely,
one can essentially walk
hand in hand with others.

In fact to realize
that anothers journey is
none other than your journey
is to walk the path of love
into the boundless.

To disappear
into the aloneness
of a solitary seeker,
or to expand into wholeness
like feathers in a flock,
is the balanced rhythm
of love and aloneness.

In this way the seeker
neither becomes lost in the crowd,
nor hardened by their own
yearning for truth.

In this way the seeker
becomes the sought.
