People need to listen to their hearts which can hardly be heard except when they are alone and stay still and calm. Strictly speaking, it’s not solitary time. It is time spent with the universe, with the ultimate, with the Mother Nature – in a word, with God. I believe that God is living in our hearts and talking to us all the time. The question is not whether He speaks to us; the question is instead whether we listen.
Christians say that when people get closer to God, they get closer to each other. In other words, when people get closer to their own hearts, they get closer to each other; when people can enjoy solitary time better, they can enjoy companion better; when people know how to take care of their own souls, they know better how to take care of each other’s souls.
Amazingly, people can actually enjoy solitary time together. Each of you may be reading a book, or sitting on the lawn and staring at the sky. You are together, and you don’t have any verbal communications, but after a while, you look at each other, and it seems that you just had a deep and satisfying communication. The best communication is not by words. It is by souls. It is a communion.
