Why do we avoid ourselves?
Why do we fight silence?
Why do we run away from solitude?
My granddaughter of 3 months sometimes fights a nap. We can tell by the sound of her crying. And we say lovingly, "don't fight it, honey." We know that we'll all be here when she wakes. The world will mostly be the same and she will be better for it.
I am just like that. I fight the grand need that I have to be alone and quiet. I wonder if I paid attention to the sound of my "crying," would I too say to myself, "don't fight it, honey.
After 20-30 minutes away, the world is mostly the same and I am better for it.
