As they say in some circles, “Your message is exactly what I needed to hear today”.

Having been given the gift of solitude in recent days, I allowed my anxious mind to fall into an entropy of isolationism and, un-buffered by booze or drugs, I found it tough. But it’s good to be reminded of the connections we can make in our time alone. Most importantly, with ourselves; maybe with nature; possibly with music and art … May Sarton said:

“Solitude is the salt of personhood. It brings out the authentic flavour of every human experience.”

Not always the most palatable aspects of my psyche get served up when I’m alone, and I can do my own head in chewing on dead matters, but I’ve experienced such authentic emotion in the past few days that I am definitely ALIVE.

Thanks for a great blog.

I’ve gone from mostly isolation, to enjoying the life enhancing joy of other people- so much that it’s difficult to spend time by myself. Onwards….
