Solitude

Solitude can’t be rented by the night. It’s not found at a resort. It is a space you have to create for yourself where you can leave the regular world behind. It has to be quiet and still and away from the city so you can see the stars at night. When the sun rises it should be crisp and clear and just warm enough, and the atmosphere will be like an undisturbed glass of water, such that you can conduct a waking meditation and not even need to close your eyes in order to quiet your mind.
