The Importance of Solitude

A crowded world thinks that aloneness is always loneliness and that to seek it is perversion. While Leonardo was working on the last supper he would get up early and arrive at the monastery before any of his assistants or spectators so he could be alone in silence with his thoughts. The Buddhist does not in far off quiet places. He creates it out of himself spreads it around wherever he may be because he loves it. Take a what you don't need. You were born free free of stuff free of burden. But since the first time they measured your tiny body for clothes, people have been foisting stuff upon you ever since. Seek solitude.
