FAITH

Solitude
Clears my mind
Calms my emotions
Restores my spirit
Gives my soul rest.

Soul weary
I seek solitude
To rejuvenate.

Restored
I venture forth
To share my strength
Until it wanes.

I search out others
Who share their strength
And increase mine.

Sometimes we are all drained
And need to seek solitude.

In my solitude
I am never alone.

Beautiful sentiments Bridget. I've often felt that need for solitude, and feel that I am not alone in doing so, as well. Beautifully captured.

Best wishes,
/Kit

(sigh) Oh Louise, I know just how you feel, sweet friend, and I believe it helps to find some time for ourselves, though we need to be careful not to do it too much. I feel being with ourselves is what helps us know ourselves better and get what's on our mind out to see where we are going and look to Him in prayer for our necessities! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Louise, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This was so uplifting Bridget, and so true, for in solice one is never alone if they indeed seek company. I filed this in my library, to remind me to "go there" for solice.
