The Joy of Solitude

Take some time,
sit alone with your thoughts.
Then…
let time go,
and with it, thought itself.

At first it will seem… impossible;
but truly it is not.
In quiet awareness
simply be still, be silent.
You will want to speak,
want to give opinions;
yet do not.

Through patience and practice
unfolds a wondrous insight.
To live, a person needs this.

Beyond the mind's borders
waits—
solitary purification.
This purity…
is not for achieving, but receiving.
