"all men's miseries derive from not being able to sit quietly in a room alone" - Blaise Pascal
Solitude
is an attitude
with no longitude
no latitude
it covers a multitude
of sin
where does it begin?
when will it end?
this spin
into nowhere and then...
once again
back there
where
there is only lonliness
alone-ness
a quiet sadness
a silent madness
in the attitude
of this Solitude
without latitude
without longitude
with no place in time
that does not rhyme
with the multitude
of my own Solitude
This book presents a narrative story of one person's journey of transcendental Awakening and Enlightenment as guided by his two Sage companions. It is grounded in Zen Buddhist and Taoist perspective and uses the I Ching as its structural framework. T
