For myself, solitude is rather like a folded-up forest that I carry with me everywhere and unfurl around myself when I have need.
The most important thing is to hold on, hold out, for your creative life, for your solitude, for your time to be and do, for your very life.
Solitude is not an absence of energy or action, as some believe, but is rather a boon of wild provisions transmitted to us from the soul.
