Solitude ! a scaring word isn't it ?
Well, we all have it in our life at some point of a day or moment.Why ?
When we are alone is really when we are in solitude ?or somethingelse ?
For many it's a negative term. But for me...for the growth of an artist it is very important. Be it a writer, a musician, a painter or a poet for instance, they all need solitude. Atleast some part of it.
I'm a very very social person. I love being surrounded by people. Like being in chandni chownk or in a Delhi bus or even Paris Metro. Going to parties, family gatherings, out for a wine with friends I love it all. Living and fighting against solitude in France, I have learnt about myself. I need that !
But when it comes to my work, my profession, dedication, meditation....a good amount of and a quality solitude is needed.
I know it's hard for me, but I will be used to it with time. There are many people who have set examples around me. When I think of them I get a kick. A kick to work, to concentrate in my work. And rest comes next. It's true when I'm in the middle of a painting, it's like being in another world...I'm with so many colours, palette, a canvas and myself. It's like self-renewal.
Something new is made or created and I myself feel a new person with every creation. It talks directly to soul.
Even internet users are in solitude, facebook, orkut...etc are all about me ,me ,me ...oneself. It's an illusion of being social. Being in touch with others. One rarely gets response 'when' one needs. I myself spend time on these sites....
Right now I'm alone, writing for you and for me. Is writing Blogs really is a social act ?
Sometimes when we make an error or we are angry over something wiht someone. Time heals them all. Leaving things on their own solitude...!!!
