The solitary swan is alone, but “Aloneness is Not Loneliness”:
“Aloneness is obviously not isolation, and it is not uniqueness. To be unique is merely to be exceptional in some way, whereas tp be completely alone demands extraordinary sensitivity, intelligence, understanding. To be completely alone implies that the mind is free of every kind of influence and is therefore uncontaminated by society; and it must be alone to understand what is religion–which is to find out for oneself whether there is something immortal, beyond time.” – J Krishnamurti ~ The Book of Life
