solitude

“Language 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.”

This caught my eye. It is rare to see one seat anywhere and yet  at many times we are all alone. Being alone can be beautiful and healing. It can be scary and painful. It can be necessary. It can make people do stupid things in order to avoid it. It can worry us and make us feel freakish. It can help create meaningful art. It can mend a broken heart. It can offer silence.

It can help make you ready to let someone pull up a chair beside you.
