Loneliness is black coffee and late-night television;
solitude is herb tea and soft music.
Solitude, quality solitude, is an assertion of self-worth,
because only in the stillness
can we hear the truth of our own unique voices.
Pearl Cleage
I will speak
when He asks me to speak
in the voice
the single and unique voice
He has given me
Then the Lord reached out his hand
and touched my mouth and said to me,
“I have put my words in your mouth.

A regular dose of solitude is essential to well-being. I love the words of Pearl Cleage. Thanks for sharing, love this post...great way to start Sunday morning. God bless you Firefly. :)
Solitude is a key value in my life...if I neglect it I am out of sorts...I like how you link the quote that asserts that self-worth grants oneself the luxury of solitude.
What an interesting, thought provoking quote: loneliness is black coffee and late night television . . .. hmm. Good food for thought. Hope you have a restful Sabbath.
I love your I am statements on your About page. I relate to them whole heartedly. Blessings to you and your hubby as you minister to Africa. Visiting from Still Saturday. Thanks.
