beautifully said...as i read your comments i said yes, me too, me too...thank you (i may only change the one word in the first sentence from "lonely" to "alone" this also reminds me of whenever i am sharing an experience of somewhere or something i did "by myself "and the other person responds to me asking" you were alone or you went alone, by yourself? my response is always the same" i am never alone" i often wonder if they know what i mean...

I am more with myself when I am lonely. The loneliness gives me good quality time to be present to my self. To meet me, to be with me without feeling the pressure or obligation to be connected with others. I value my alone time to reflect on my self and feel the presence of people with whom I am deeply connected.This kind of deep connectedness I feel with myself and with others when we do not have time pressure. Such experiences are at times full of spontaneous laughter or when we explore some personal significant existential questions or when I am in a deep loving relationship. As I am getting older, I enjoy such time out to have time in. quiet time to be with me when the time flows like a river. This is my being zone, very different from the doing zone and the having zone.Blessed are such moments.
