“The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person – without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other”. – Osho

I am an adventurer and seeker of truths at heart. I’ve come to the conclusion that I am unable to solely hold one passion dear to my heart, but many. I am passionately curious and endlessly thirsty for clarity. I am drawn to animal care & rescue, humanitarian & environmental pursuits, but also the arts, literature, films, music, dance, spirituality and psychology. I continue my journey as an observer, a thinker, a photographer, a writer, a poet, and a traveller. I currently reside in the foothills of Alberta, Canada. View all posts by Claire M
