How To Be Alone

by Beth on September 5, 2010

Inside myself is a place where I live all alone, and that’s where I renew my springs that never dry up.
– Pearl Buck

I have noticed that more and more people seem to find it impossible to unplug, to allow silence, and to be alone with themselves. This is very sad, and is tied, I think, to a much deeper emotional and spiritual malaise that cannot be disguised by noise.

But here is a beautiful poem that offers some steps for returning to wholeness and well-being. Enjoy.

I’ve seen this video winding it’s way through the blogosphere lately…but I still think it’s fabulous every time.
