Today's entry could not be anymore perfect. This is exactly how I intend to spend my day. Getting things done, spending time with my beloved fur children.....and just getting to think with out distraction.
When we, as individuals, first rediscover our spirit, we are usually drawnto nature and cultivate this awareness.
- Shakti Gawain
Alone time is absolutely essential to the human organism. Many of us have been afraid to be alone. We are afraid that if someone else is not around, no one will be present. When we have lost the awareness of ourselves, we try to fill up our time with work, busyness, food, and other people. We have been afraid to sound our own depths. We have been afraid that we would look inside and find no one there.
Yet, when we have that first awareness of "rediscovering our spirit," we know that there is someone there, inside of us, who is well worth knowing.
There is no way to know ourselves unless we have time alone to explore. We need to nurture and protect our alone time even when it seems difficult.
MY ALONE TIME is as essential to my spirit as food, sleep, and exercise are to my body. I hope I am able to remember that.
