In the quiet of solitude
The secret spirit soars -
Alone, alone, all alone
Behind these thrice-locked doors.
        - Ann Kilcrin Ward

I found this one among my mother's things not long after she died. I was very young - 9 or 10, but I could relate, and I took it to heart. Since then, the time I've spent alone has been one of my greatest treasures. I also love being with people, but I'm redeemed and sanctified in solitude.
