One of the greatest gifts of our lives is the ability to enjoy solitude. Many of us are unable to enjoy this gift.

We are too busy -- busy with work, with friends, with entertainment.

When we slow down, we find out we can feel peaceful when we are alone.

For most of us, solitude is ordinary -- we each find our private place and take up our favorite activities: writing, painting, making pictures,storytelling, or just going on nature walks, being amongst natural things, or simply to just sit still and meditate and find inner peace!
These simple activities are so much fun it's hard to figure out why it took us so long to calm down and enjoy them.

Our dreams may be quite ordinary.

We can learn how to find them.
