What Solitude Teaches
The difference between alone and lonely
The delights of inner dialogue
Where to find your angle of repose
How to listen into silence
And hear the Spirit speak
A quiet kind of courage
The joy of uninterrupted reading
Or using up all the hot water
The pleasures of puttering
The comforts of quietness
The shape of your own desires
The pleasure of not performing
Trust in God's presence
when it looks like absence
(Marilyn Chandler McEntyre)
