The Power of Solitude

There is power in solitude,
not just physically and in terms of aloneness and silence,
but the solitude of being one’s own person,
of not stepping outside our boundaries in an attempt to be liked,
understood, and accredited for what we do..
Rather by drawing on the resources of our interior life,
we are given the strength to follow, in humility,
the path toward which we are called.
In this, integrity of being, wisdom, mastery
and maturity develop.
