Inspired by that Albert Einstein quote from the other day…

 

Solitude
is a beautiful thing.
Not loneliness, that bitter,
twisted root—but aloneness,
the chance to be filled with the silent
whispers of the world, to feel the golden sun
shining for you alone, to express the hope that
brushes loving fingers through the contemplative mind.

Solitude
is the best friend
you will ever have—the warm,
caressing friend allowing you space,
time and stillness, who comes whenever
you fight your way out of the crowd into silence,
into peace,  oneness, and the deep, sustaining breath
of freedom.

Random quote of the day:

 

“If three people tell you you’re drunk, lie down.”

—Irish/Hungarian/Yiddish/American proverb
(Variously attributed to all these nationalities.)
