Solitude confirms us and our experiences.
Hello to you listening in Liege, Belgium!
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.
May Sarton was the pen name of Eleanore Marie Sarton, a celebrated Belgian-American poet and novelist who made her mark on American literature with her witty style and eloquent word choices. She had this to say about solitude:
“There is no doubt that solitude is a challenge and to maintain balance within it a precarious business. But I must not forget that, for me, being with people or even with one beloved person for any length of time without solitude is even worse. I lose my center. I feel dispersed, scattered, in pieces. I must have time alone in which to mull over my encounter, and to extract its juice, its essence, to understand what has really happened to me as a consequence of it.” [May Sarton]
Question: When you take time for true solitude, what do you come away with?
