Solitude Challenges Drivenness
Solitude comes from the word solus, meaning to be alone. People have an enormous number of things to do in life. Many of us are driven. Solitude pokes a hole in that drivenness and helps us stop for a moment and ask: “What is it all for?” It means spending a little time with God to listen to the voice who says, “You are mine, I am yours, I love you. You don’t have to prove yourself. You are fine.”
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters…
- Psalm 23: 2
Reflection Question: When was the last time you made space to ponder, “What is it all for?”
