Its a phrase I have been mulling over...
You have to be your own lighthouse. Standing on the shore being strong, attracting those boats to you!
But on the shore, its windy, its cold, your alone in that lighthouse. Its winter there's snow, not many boats are passing by. It get lonely out there all on your own.
I wonder if I want to be part of the village instead, cozying up in front of a fire in a pub with some fine young thing and making myself happy.
Its a strange phrase. I understand it, but it promotes a sense of loneliness. As if there is only one boat for you, one path and you have to stand on your own all alone to get it. I mean yes it is important to stand strong in your beliefs, not sacrifice your own happiness and never run after every little thing that gives you attention.
You have to somehow keep those strong beliefs of "I CAN DO THIS!" and have no fear in the face of loneliness.
I also thinks its important to relish in others company, go out, find a community, find strength of yourself reflected in those around you. No one does this alone...
NO one stands like a lighthouse on the shore of forever waiting for their boat to come in. They visit the village, they cook, they make things, its all about striking a balance.
I want to be strong, confident, and powerful. A survivor of my own lifes misfortune. But I also want to be part of you, have my heart be the one you write ur poems on. I want to be part of the love that is spread, from one touch to another.
I find being a light is important, but be a torch that can be passed from hand to hand spreading your joy, your confidence your power. Be the one others can learn from. Be the example.
Don't be the lonely lighthouse...
