8. Solitude

Jake and Noel discuss Herman Hesse’s perspective on creation as a  discharge of the living soul and the human need to make our mark, connecting creation to the desire to communicate the incommunicable and so feel less alone. They explore the distinction between loneliness and solitude on the spiritual path.  Podcast Editor - Ger Kellett [https://www.instagram.com/ger_kellett/] Show notes: In its origin a poem is something completely unequivocal. It is a discharge, a call, a cry, a sigh, a gesture, a reaction by which the living soul seeks to defend itself from or to become aware of an emotion, an experience. In this first spontaneous most important function no poem can be judged. It speaks first of all simply to the poet himself, it is his cry, his scream, his dream, his smile, his whirling fists. (by Hermann Hesse) Loneliness is the pain of being alone Solitude is the glory of being alone (John Moriarty) The pain of being alone is not being able to share your ideas with other people  (John Moriarty) FOLLOW AND SUPPORT THE SHOW Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thehingepodcast?igsh=NnAzcmF4M2h0Zmlk] Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheHingePodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink] YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@TheHingePodcast] Write to us at - thehingepodcast@gmail.com
