Solitude

"Language... 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 Johannes Tillich (The Eternal Now)

I am refreshed and renewed by time spent in solitude.

Dear God,
Thank You for solitude and serenity as well as time with friends and family. I appreciate both conditions and enjoy the balance between them. When I am alone, I realize that all is One. If I feel lonely, I reach beyond myself and connect with others. In truth I am never alone for You are always with me.

Thank You God. Amen
