Once a loner always a loner. I am learning that the hard way.
The last month has been so stressful, I didn't think I would make it to this blog again. The fun part is, being a loner, I have not a soul on this planet I can share this with. May be they will discover life on Ganymede. (Mars is too close for my liking). Till then, my dear blog, share this cross with me. I am not sure how much longer I can take this.

I am not forgetting my friends in blogdom. Rain, in particular. Thanks for all your kind words. I have been through this earlier, maybe I will make it through again. Oddly, Loners tend to be rather resilient.

Hello Loner.

I hope your Christmas went well.

By the sound of your post, are you leaving? I hope not. I know that you are lonely, and I know how that feels. I'm lonely also. But knowing that I'm not alone in my solitary, makes me feel somewhat less lonesome. (does that even make sense?)

No matter where you are in the world, I will always be here for you. (hopefully)If I ever decide to delete my blog and stop blogging, you will be the first to know. I wouldn't leave you hanging like that, no, not you.

We loners must stick together.
Hang in there; you never know what the next day brings, or the next, or the next, and so on. I should take some of my own advice, huh?

Thanks rain. You are a such a great support. No I am not going to stop blogging. This is one of the few activities I still enjoy.

Like you said, we loners must stick together. A conglomerate of loners. Isn't that a contradiction in terms or something. Like a round square.

I have been your blog several times lately. I see, you have decided to moderate comments. On way that is good.(It blocks my comments out. So it must be good.)

hi! I am a loner too. I just want to say that a loner's life is sad but maybe things would turn out to be better if we just hope right?

Hope? Isn't that among the first things you lose once you become a loner?. That is an interesting poit. Let me see if I can blog on that !! If you don't mind, that is.

He was back in that old place, where memories were on riot. Nostalgia doesn't half describe what he felt. It was not the moon. Not the flowers. The shock of deja vu was in the ordinary things, in the vegetables and the sodden grass. The drizzle just added to the score. He realized what many before him had already known. That love is not about joy, or happiness. It is about anguish, about a glimpse of the unreachable. A vision of what the human brain can achieve, and what no neural circuit has yet managed to duplicate. Sitting on the moist rocks of the cliff, he realized he woud gladly go through the same pain, and grief. For love is a gift of god, even for athiests. A message form a power greater than humanity. And he said to himself. I miss you. I miss you like the air I breathe. The ripple of the waves of the lake, like soft laughter, fills me with a silent loneliness nothing can ever wash away. Where are you now? What are you doing?

A Weird Loner !

Pondering on the reason for one's existence is hardly the sort of thing one ought to be doing these days. But, there being nothing really worthwhile about life, about being alive, or even about feeling alive, this is just the kind of futile occupation that appeals to loner's of my sort. So here I am, by my favourite watering hole, listening to the silence of eons. Maybe I am weird, like some nice people have kindly pointed out. What they have not been able to point out though, is the reason for my weirdness or anybody elses weirdness. I guess, sitting by all by oneself, by the side of a sullen lake is weird. Fine. So I am a weird loner. Thank you very much. That is what loners are ! Anyway, I haven't posted anything at all for a long time. Even my best friends seem to have given up on me. It is tough being a loner. It is tougher being a weird loner.
Is theology a contardiction in terms ? Is it possible for a mere mortal to study God. I wonder, like so many before me, how any one can be arrogant enough to think that God, if it exists, can be comprehended by man. I woud have thought that by definition God is incomprehensible. So any study in that direction is futile and bound to fail.
