Solitude is your soul's best friend

I read this quote in a wonderful little book 'The Complete Pocket Positive': 'O solitude, the soul's best friend', written by English poet Charles Cotton (1630-1687). Those words describe my life. The deeper I go on my spiritual path, the more solitude I need.

Creating space for solitude is hard. I am a busy wife, mother, friend; I am building a new house and business. I have so much on my mind every day. But I know I must be alone with my soul - for an hours walk or for a three day retreat. Do you make room for solitude?
