More From Herman Melville

I don't know if anyone has noticed but i only ever write about one thing: being alone. the fear of being alone, the desire to not be alone, the attempts we make to find our person, to keep our person, to convince our person to not leave us alone, the joy of being with our person and thus no longer alone, the devastation of being left alone. the need to hear the words: you are not alone.
Writing Joy Desire
The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. we hate others when we hate ourselves. we are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. we forgive others when we forgive ourselves. we are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
Love Forgiveness Attitude
We are challenged to develop a world perspective. no individual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and anyone who feels that he can live alone is sleeping through a revolution. the world in which we live is geographically one.
Sleep Perspective Environmental
We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. it is a way of bitter suffering. but then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is god, the indivisible. and suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.
Loneliness Self Soul
You just have to work, we all have to work really hard to take care of ourselves and feed ourselves good information, just like we feed ourselves good food. feed ourselves good books and good messaging and the things that make us feel like we can be connected with ourselves and others in a deeper way.
Book Care Information
How do we define, how do we describe, how do we explain and/or understand ourselves? what sort of creatures do we take ourselves to be? what are we? who are we? why are we? how do we come to be what or who we are or take ourselves to be? how do we give an account of ourselves? how do we account for ourselves, our actions, interactions, transactions (praxis), our biologic processes? our specific human existence?

What is a modern poet's fate? / to write his thoughts upon a slate; / the critic spits on what is done, / gives it a wipe - and all is gone.
