Solitude
This week, show us what being alone means to you.
“Solitude is the place of purification.” — Martin Buber
Many people equate solitude with loneliness, but I find it comforting and restorative. Because of social media’s ubiquity, we are constantly connected to others. Even when we are physically alone, we are very rarely truly solitary. Unplugging is good, and introspection is important, but most of us don’t get enough opportunity to do either.

I agree, there is a difference between being alone or lonely!
True. I’ve been alone aka single for many years. At first I was lonely wanting what society told me I needed to have aka “Husband.” Now that I’ve gotten older I’m at peace with being single and I enjoy my own company. I have no desire to hook-up with some guy just because the media, society or culture tells me I must.
You are simply yourself which is great since don’t try to be someone to please someone. This is actually te pre-condition to attract what really belongs into your life. I think we need to learn to be ourselves first before we are ready what fits that Self!
Aah! Amen to that:)
This is beautiful.
Thanks. The photos are a montage of many places; The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Central Park and my former home Rochdale Village located in Jamaica, Queens, New York.
I’m rarely lonely, but seek alone time each day. 🙂 You now have me yearning for a visit to a botanical garden. 🙂

New York’s Botanic Gardens are Oasis of Green Space within the Big City as is Central Park located in Manhattan. I Love both.
Ah! My neck of the woods:) I do love the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens:)
Thank you. Maybe one day we can meet up and enjoy the Gardens together!! ❤
For sure, sounds like a plan!!!
