How Do You Keep Away the Ghosts of Loneliness?

Shawn Nevins,

How do you keep away the ghosts of loneliness? What thoughts haunt you when you are alone?
We are all one, and being only one, are terribly alone. Loneliness is a door.
You feel alone because there is someone waiting for you who you cannot picture.
The mind looks at the mind, then one day the mind looks into an empty hole from which all things float to the surface.
Surround yourself with people, then ask where they are in relation to you. Where is the barrier between you and them?
The distance between you and your friend is as great and as small as that between you and the evening star. You must look at the evening star and have a friend in order to see what I mean.
Beauty is not evidence for God. It is evidence that we long for God.
I can’t say a thing without you overanalyzing. Don’t you feel the unusually natural undulations which I ride – like a boat with no captain. What is greatest in life – to have no need for joy.
