A Wise Solitude...

"A wise solitude thus fosters the soul's growth, keeps the mind clear of petty thoughts and matures the fine quality of mental independence.

Go your way alone and you walk a path that shall indeed arrive somewhere.

For solitude is not loneliness, boredom, or sadness.

To be lonely is to be amongst those that do not understand.

But in solitude you can people your place with thoughts, if you wish, whilst you always have yourself, your Overself, for company…."
