As I said last week, solitude is about connecting to the deepest part of ourselves. That is a concept that is hard to explain. For me, it involves going into my heart space and resting there. Normally I spend a great deal of time in my head. Our culture values head knowledge. But head knowledge needs the heart, the body, and the soul. My desire for solitude includes my desire to attend to my heart, body, and soul in addition to my head.
