Why do we think the people on stage are the only ones having fun?

I think the call of the inward life starts here. Solitude helps you differentiate, define the borders of the self. Solitude helps you figure our where everybody else stops and you begins.

Maybe the biggest problem with loneliness is that we walk around thinking we're the only ones suffering from it.

All peace-loving women shut up when they sense they have stepped onto Guy Turf. Guy Turf is a murky realm of ego and pride and chivalry and testosterone and heroism.

Isolation is aloneness that feels forced upon you, like a punishment. Solitude is aloneness you choose and embrace. I think great things can come out of solitude, out of going to a place where all is quiet except the beating of your heart.

Forgiveness is the path to healing.

You can make your life so much larger simply be acknowledging everyone else's.
