“Solitude isn't an end in itself. It's rather like one-half of a breath. It's the inhale, and life in community, life among our family, neighbors, coworkers, and friends, is the exhale. It's meant to prepare us for all of life by rooting us firmly in the hiddenness that is ours in Christ, the covering of God's mercy.” SolitudeMercySpiritual Disciplines Book:Recapturing the Wonder: Transcendent Faith in a Disenchanted World Source: Recapturing the Wonder: Transcendent Faith in a Disenchanted World
