SOLITUDE

My son, Pauleon wrote in his blog:

"i dunno.. i just enjoy being alone sometimes. yet, i recharge with being talkative and boisterous, being the centre of attention in a group. in fact, sometimes i crave alone time if i spend too much time with people around. like, the fact i prefer to have my own room to do my own things at night. kinda also a "recharging time" back home... yet, i also crave to just hang and chill with people, talk talk talk. hehh was thinking who else is like this and quanwei came to mind. "

This is absolutely our spiritual yearning. It is in quietness and alone that God can recharge us! The Lord Jesus practised this often. He often withdrew from the crowd to be alone with God the Father. (Mk. 1:35; Lk. 4:42; Mk. 6:31-32, 46) We all need this time of solitude! While we are alone, not to idle our minds but to contemplate and think about God and His goodness, and perhaps also what He would like us to do.
