Publisher's Synopsis
This latest title in the Classic Wisdom collection features the reflections of famous poets, novelists, spiritual leaders, artists, actors, philosophers and others, on finding solitude in the home, with others, within the heart. The habit of solitude provides soothing spiritual succour, a much-needed respite from the sometimes insane pressures of a madly active world, a way to return to the centre where life is sacred. Solitude offers us a time for creativity and inner peace, a way of finding ourselves and our god. Editor Dale Salwak has brought together an eclectic bag of thinkers through the ages Thomas Merton and Tom Robbins, Confucius and Colette, Carl Jung and Erica Jong, Gandhi and Goethe.
