“Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.”
– Paul Tillich

“I think what makes me at peace while writing is that it is the only time I am completely alone…
….I get to walk down the hall, close the door, and disappear

This space, online, is a record of my snatches of solitude.
There is nothing lonely in the act of creation.
I am alone but surrounded by the ideas of others.
I am writing in solitude, but will share these words in public.
This time I spend alone is glorious.
But I do not seek glory.
Only the opportunity to do this again tomorrow.
