Great things can come out of solitude



“All humans are frightened of their own solitude. But only in solitude can we learn to know ourselves, learn to handle our own eternal aloneness.” ~ Han Suyin


“Each of us is alone in the world. It takes great courage to meet the full force of your aloneness .… When you face your aloneness, something begins to happen. Gradually, the sense of bleakness changes into a sense of true belonging. This is a slow and open-ended transition but it is utterly vital in order to come into rhythm with your own individuality.“ ~ John O'Donohue
