Last night the rabbi spoke of coincidences being greetings / reminders (?) from G-d
I have always hated the word coincidence because it diminishes profound encounters into just a numbers game
Impoverishing experience
And then Joseph Soloveitchik speaks of the
loneliness of
The man on faith
Here Patti talks of
the loneliness of
the poet.
Being alone is not the same as being lonely
But maybe being true to who you are
Means accepting that you /
I must go so deep as throw small things out along the way.. like breadcrumbs to get that insight I crave
(Patti was referring to Arthur Rimbaud: “even in the thick of things, true poets stand alone”)
