Earlier this week, I was wondering if there was something wrong with the way I take solitude. I wondered if maybe I should be out there more and take less solitude. The first thing that comes to mind is that I don’t take solitude for the luxury of it. I take solitude so that I can show up to my commitments with my whole self. I think that’s enough, but I feel even more confirmed after reading this quote shared by Maria Popova on The Marginalian.
“To my mind there is nothing in life so delightful as that feeling of relief, of escape, and absolute freedom which one experiences in a vast solitude, where man has perhaps never been, and has, at any rate, left no trace of his existence.” -William Henry Hudson
