AA Thought for the Day

May 11, 2007

Solitude

Solitude can be sought and experienced in many ways --
in the silence of nature, in reading poetry, in listening to music,
in looking at pictures, and in sincere thoughtfulness.
We are alone, but not lonely. . .
Some of us long to become creative in some realm of life.
But we cannot become or remain creative without solitude.
One hour of conscious solitude will enrich our creativity
far more than hours of trying to learn the creative process.

Thought to Ponder....

Meditation means trusting the silence around me for a while,
as if it were an answer I had long sought.
