One Word Wednesday : Solitude

"Solitude is very different from a 'time-out' from our busy lives. Solitude is the very ground from which community grows. Whenever we pray alone, study, read, write, or simply spend quiet time away from the places where we interact with each other directly, we are potentially opened for a deeper intimacy with each other."   --Henri Nouwen



 sol·i·tude
noun
the state or situation of being alone.
"she savored her few hours of freedom and solitude"
