What Solitude Teaches

Where to find your angle of repose.

What "comes naturally."

What you've been avoiding about yourself.

Where independence meets happiness.

The joy of uninterrupted reading.

Or using up all the hot water.

What you have to say to yourself.

What you do when you are not compromising.

Or adapting.

The delights of inner dialogue.

The difference between alone and lonely.

Your own melody line.

The pleasures of puttering.

Your own balance points.

Courage.

What you choose when no one's looking.

The uses ofmemory and imagination.

What you bring to and need from relationships.

How much is performance.

The comfort of quietness.

Honesty.
