love is aloneness
years ago, i dove into multiple photo projects to stay inspired. this is one of them that i keep coming back to time & time again. it's a good reminder of the journey into self as we continue searching for strength in self-love, alignment, truth and personal power ... everything we manifest will be mirrored.
project: images from words
inspiration: from 'ninety-nine names of love' book by priya hemenway
love is aloneness
my peace is in my aloneness
my beloved is alone with me there, always
by rabi'a al-adawiyya (717-801), female sufi mystic born in iraq
Beautiful, powerful and poignant. The journey of self love is one that should never come to an end.
thank you! within that self-love are things like acceptance, patience, and gratitude. why not celebrate that and invite more?
Great post!
U just got a follow from me.
Agreed! And one from me too
thank you!
"love is aloneness", I love that statement. I tell people all the time that empathy for other people is rooted in empathy for yourself.
When I had time to myself and got in touch with my own feelings, my own loneliness, my own suffering, and my own shortcomings--I was better able to understand the suffering and pain of others.
exactly! it's a relief of a realization to have.
