SOLITUDE
"One of the greatest necessities in America is to discover creative solitude." -- Carl Sandburg
I need to be alone. Being alone is not the same as being lonely. I need to be alone with me in order to love me, understand me, hear my needs and plan my day.
Also solitude is a spiritual experience because it enables me to center on what God is doing and creating in my life. Solitude enables me to think and cooperate with His will for me in our world.
As an addict I was always running around being "busy". Today I rest within myself in order to be more active and creative.
Thanks Wendy, You are soooo right there is a fine line between isolation and being alone.At one time, I was the queen of isolation, then I became the busy bee, and now there is balance in my life.
How do I hear God whisper if I'm always in a group or always into myself?
