How do we embrace solitude on a daily basis?  For most, time to retreat in silence, is non-existent.  Instead, we have to practice remoteness from our reactions and the distractions that pull us away and bring out our shortcomings.  Is it possible to find space between the thoughts that push, pull, and cloud our view?  When we remain solid in our everyday lives, there is integrity in our walk, the capacity to pause and listen, and truth in our talk.  In solitude, I can adjust my attitude and improve the mood of those around me.  This sacred space is not easy to make, but a necessity for the well-being of all.
