What is our relationship to solitude?

It seems more and more of us are becoming more comfortable with it.

Time away from noise. Time away from static and conflict and nagging and obligation….

It can be wonderful to have that time to let the day settle. To let our thoughts shift into place. Our values sort into some alignment.

But this is what interests me the most: can we have too much solitude?

What do you think? Have there been times in your life when you’ve had too much quiet?

Have you noticed what the conditions are around you when your appreciation for solitude is enhanced?

This poem attempts to get at this.

I hope you get the Substack app and read. It’s free and there are no ads - just thousands of writers thinking about all kinds of things from popular fiction, to politics, to parenting, to travel, to life hacks and poetry.

See you there!
