SOLITUDE
“People who take time to be alone usually have depth, originality, and quiet reserve
~ John Miller ~
Sometimes, I need to be alone. I need time to listen to my thoughts, consider my opinions, and strengthen my body. I need to pull away from my hectic life to be alone with me.
As a drinking alcoholic, I hated to be alone. I became paranoid about “leaving the fort.” Today I accept that nobody is indispensable* and the world will still be there when I return from the desert!
I grow in the stillness of solitude. I can rest in that “still” part of me that is my essential self. God is very close to me in the silence.
God, in the stillness of Your life, I am healed and rejuvenated.
