solitude

i love solitude, not because i don't love people, but i love the quiet.

the autonomy. the little decisions that are all mine to make.

the simplicity. the reflection.

i love it for the dreams that come to life within me regardless if I ever see any of them through.

solitude is where the answers come to the questions i didn't even know to ask.

it is the place where i talk to trees and sing to my grandmother.

solitude is where i touch the sacred feminine wisdom that lies within my soul.

it is where i rest my beautiful aging body and my brilliant mind.

one day when it is my last, i will embrace with loving arms, solitude.
