but detachment doesn't mean you don't let the experience penetrate you. on the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. that's how you are able to leave it

The German poet, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, "To be lonely as one was lonely as a child, while adults were moving about, entangled with things that seemed big and important, because the grownups looked so busy and because one could not understand any of their doings...that must be the goal."

Also..."If there seems to be no communication between you and the people around you, try to draw close to those things that will not ever leave you. The nights are still there, and the winds that roam through the trees and over many lands."

I don't think loneliness is a bad thing. It's an experience in life, and one that teaches you more about yourself than perhaps anything form of contact.

Rilke has a really good little book called "Letters to a Young Poet" and he explores a lot of the things you wrote about in this entry.

Also, do I know you?
