Don't surrender your loneliness
So quickly.
Let it cut more deeply.
Let it ferment and season you
As few human
Or even divine ingredients can. -Hafez, poet (1315-1390)
In a very real and deep sense, we humans are alone. As close as we may be to others, or an other, we can't be completely known, nor can we fully know another person. One of the blessings of the Christian faith is that we know that we are known by another, the Other, and he loves us. Pondering our loneliness, realizing it and embracing it, should draw us closer to God.
