Solitude in Life, to fight life.

"The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself." Michel de Montaigne.

Life is fickle and unreliable, depend on yourself, and repeatedly fall in love with the 'You' in yourself. Defeating cancer and winning the battle with cancer is the firm determination of  one's mind. To overcome the physical, emotional and psychological self during the treatment needs perseverance and will power. The most important prerequisite is to relax with a fearless mind and heal yourself. Emotions do play a crucial role and it is the attitude towards life that helps you fight. The low immunity, the fight for life, the falling of the blood count are mechanisms that you need to fight with a positive approach to regain your lost health, self esteem, emotional imbalance and your physical strength.

The vital and hardest part is healing of the self, from becoming an emotional wreck. A sense of loneliness that creeps in during the treatment and most difficult part that needs to be tackled first. Music is the best therapist.  Putting your thoughts on paper helps a lot to relive your emotions and feelings. Or pursuing something that you never had time for or visiting places you longed to visit. It is then that your solitude becomes your best healer, solitude with nature, listening to everything around you. You have to heal yourself first. It is a kind of internal loneliness that you need to fight even when all your loved ones are there to support you, a gnawing pain of helplessness that the creeping crab sets rolling and  keep a never give up attitude.

Solitude can be a beautiful feeling, to rediscover yourself that got lost somewhere in the journey of life. It is something soothing, healing and meditative. The repressed feelings and memories of an unhealed wound that needs to be healed and released to a positive thought of living for the moments that life bestows on you. Positive attitude is the key to fight cancer.  It is in solitude you find the innermost light in your soul, a beautiful connection that is powerful, vibrating, magical and real. It is a space of freedom to reflect. As a child I used to love solitude with the surroundings, a mysterious melange of colors, absorbing everything around me, allowing me to be soaked in the beauty of nature.

It is a psychological connection and  communication without words, emanating mainly from your heart and soul. It is a  connection with nature to listen to the silence and sounds around you as you stroll, be it the striking rays of the sun, rustle of the leaves, tweets of the birds, the mystic mist, the blossoming of a bud, honeyed fragrance of those wild flowers that attract the butterflies or the wind whistling by. It is a great feeling to experience the soft touch of nature in the core of your soul. I am able to perceive  with the lovely  insights I get from everything in nature as they get entangled in me. The truth and realization of those moments are interwoven in a unique and special way; of mystic reality and life's reality. Solitude is positive and constructive unlike loneliness, a gift of spending some time alone with nature.

Solitude is a positive,
Perception of being alone,
A love song I sing ,
As I fall in love,
With the fearless self,
To find my lost soul,
My life's retreat,
Along a river in moonlight,
Unseen, unknown, not lamenting.

No emptiness, nor silence,
Content with life,
To listen and visualize,
The bliss of nature,
Within life's reflections,
Turning my soul,
Pain gnawing inside,
Healing with nature,
Not feeling boxed.

Unraveling to find myself,
Longing for solitude
For my fortitude,
With no prescription,
To medicate my body,
My racing heart,
A magical connection,
Of the moments,
A gift for life.
