be your own best friend

Better to be alone
than to dance with poor company
better to spend the days
by yourself than to live
a life that is not pure
better to find company
in nature
with its quiet wonder
than to keep entertaining
the world with its drama
better to be alone
in the heart
and spend the days
with the practice of *being*
and solitude than to
talk and talk
and talk
what a waste

better to be alone
and
be your own
best friend
