message to a lonely one.

message to a lonely one.

A Poem by jenniewren (J.W. Bouwman)

Ah yes.. 
Is there anything quite so lonely as someone on the path to rediscovering themselves? There is something so solitary about that moment when you are deepest into the parts of yourself you hid so well you forgot they existed. You look up, mid-exploration, and realize the Sherpas have abandoned you and only you walk the wild crags alone. But, what you'll realize is, nothing worth anything ever came easy.. And the rewards are pretty damned great at the end of it.

Finding your own truth as only you can define it is the true reason why we live.
 
Just remember.. You're not ever really alone. That hill you've been looking at for awhile hides all the people doing the exact same thing. 
And you're not so far from joining them.thing you are. And you're not so far from joining them

This is pure magic dear...I have so waited for this poem to surface. Time is a funny thing kit....and we are funny creatures. Above all, "to thyne own self be true" one of my faves of the day.

Very uplifting way to look at self-realization. I am at the stage of facing 40 in a few weeks. Thank you for putting it into words.
