Nice one. Here is another quote you may like: The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude. Aldous Huxley
I thrive on peace and quiet. Time inside my own mind without all the clutter of people talking aimlessly. Then I can enjoy a little get together once a week with a group of people. Then I can process it until the next time. Me, hubby, and my 2 adorable cats living in the country is my paradise.
Solitude is my favourite pass time. A practise very close to my heart. And I guard it vehemently.
Mornings are usually my solitude moments, spent amidst nature meditating and practising yoga. And afternoons, if they day isn’t too packed.
Oh, I love my solitude, too! It lets me be me without the fear of being watched or judged. The only company I love during such solitary moments is my birds. 🙂
