Solitary Needs

Paul Coehlo writes, "Without solitude no plant or animal can survive, no soil can remain productive, no child can learn about life, no artist can create, no work can grow and be transformed." Coehlo reminds us that in life's most significant moments we are alone.

Solitude is not the absence of company. It involves the moment when the soul flies free to speak and help us decide what to do with our life.

The writer and photographer must work alone for hours. Creativity and wonder bounce from words to views and back again. Engagement with all the senses translates into perspective and point of view. Mysteries stir connections while one searches for content.

Stay still and reach out for possibilities. Move and feel the kaleidoscope whirl. Write and capture scenes to grow and know yourself.

Creative Write: Probe the mysteries of solitude and solitary needs. Go into the wild of wonder.
