Loneliness

"'Loneliness is as much a reality of life as night and rain and thunder, and it can be lived creatively, as any other experience. So I say, let there be loneliness, there also is love, and where there is suffering, there also is joy.' So says Clark E. Moustakas, as he begins this classic work with his own experience. This powerful meditation book explores the many forms of loneliness and concludes that it is a gift, not an aberration--an opportunity to deepen our perception of ourselves and our place in the world. This modest, beautifully written classic is a book you will return to again for solace, inspiration, and renewal."--Provided by publisher
