Because you travel alone you feel alone.
To your eye everyone else is joined--
by heart, by hand, by hip, by soul—
and you alone are alone.
Well, my friend, it's time to recognize
illusion for what it is (namely, illusion)
and counteract its effect in the only way possible
(you're going to hate this):
let go.
Tightly clutching to your breast
your protective cloak of invisibility
is the proximate cause of your isolation.
So let go.
Become visible, small bits at a time.
Loosen the fingers to let the cloak open—
it's safe, I promise you.
The cloak will still drape from your broad,
tight shoulders.
But now it will open in the front,
releasing the bonds that wrapped your heart.
What a good place to start:
the heart.
You may find that you are not travelling alone at all.
