Solitude

We can enjoy and treasure the few moments of solitude
we are able to find in the rush and hurry of life today.
When we cease to fear loneliness
and begin to cherish and use our solitude to advantage,
we have come a long way.
We realize a little solitude is necessary to think
and to try to work on some of the Steps.
In solitude, we take our inventories. . .
In solitude, our spirits seek that Power greater than we are;
in solitude, we seek through prayer and meditation
to be aware of God's (HP's) will for us.
