(OPENING EXCERPT – – I have not copied the full text. Just enough to capture attention!)
A communion with oneself…. A state of being alone within the confines of one´s self-consciousness…. A singular moment of intimate encounter with one´s soul…. A spontaneous course that takes one to the infinite terrain of her/his inner space….
In most instances we don’t purposefully get into it. There just seems to be some potent energy that pulls us into solitude and settles our minds in it to better understand ourselves as well as certain circumstances in life and the particular space we have in them. It is a mental state that seeks respite and tranquility. Hence, to be in solitude in this sense is a natural impulse.
Solitude has a degree of depth and intensity that leads fragments of experience to converge at a point of meaningfulness and enhanced awareness. In many instances, solitude heads towards enlightenment and the emergence of new insights. It is a moment that renews and refreshes one’s being in the silence of the heart.
