Pondering Solitude

"Pondering the possible solitude of Earth Hour" was my last journal post before the hour began. There is so much in that statement. Maybe it is easier to ponder solitude when one lives alone, or when one wishes to be alone.

What is solitude? It is neither being alone, nor being lonely. Solitude is deeper than being alone. Yet, it can be fulfilling beyond the lonely's ability to imagine.

Solitude is the experience of one journeying inward with one's God. It requires only the presence of the one and the Divine.

Though what occurs in solitude may be ineffable, the experience brings the light of God's mercy and wisdom to some corner of one's being.

Solitude blossoms in silence, in stillness, in spirit.
