One of my most favorite meditations from the book Quiet Moments in the Presence of God addresses this…
It talks about the “silence that waits for God” and “acknowledges His great love”. Near the end it suggests creating “within your environment and within your heart a chapel-hush that makes of your soul a sanctuary for the presence of God.”
After reading that a few times the distinction between solitude and isolation became very clear & distinct. Today I treasure and cherish the solitude that I know to be my sanctuary.
Great reminder to go back to that meditation...Thank you
