“Children love to be alone because alone is where they know themselves, and where they dream.” - Roger Rosenblatt, (1994), “The Man in the Water: Essays and Stories” 

 

 “As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know. Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.” - Carl Jung Flyer image and design are by Patrick Dickson.

 

Meagan Dreams is live on Tuesdays at 6pm Pacific time on Eardrum Buzz Radio at www.eardrumbuzz.net
