The Quiet Brilliance of Solitude

All that is brilliant in life is born from solitude.

Solitude itself is not to be feared; the true fear lies in never learning to dwell comfortably in your own company. For genuine, enriching solitude is not a retreat from the world, nor is it a wilful isolation. It is this:

To sense the poetry in an ordinary life, whilst sipping tea alone. To discover the rhythm of a tranquil heart, whilst walking by yourself. To perceive a world of greater breadth, whilst reading in quiet contemplation.

When you can not only cherish these moments but find in them a deep and sincere contentment—that is the very essence of freedom.
