“Being alone is a difficult discipline: a beautiful and difficult sense of being solitary is always the ground from which we step into a contemplative intimacy with the unknown, but the first portal of alone is often experienced as a gateway to alienation, grief, and abandonment […]. To be alone for any length of time is to shed an outer skin. The body is inhabited in a different way when we are alone than when we are with others. Alone, we live in our bodies as a question rather than a statement.”

— David Whyte, from “Alone,” Consolations (Many Rivers Press, 2021)
