ReplyDeleteI was eager to join in the Light Upon Light discussion last night as it has been such a long time since the Noor had hosted one. I particularly liked the discussion around differentiating between Alone and Solitude - which I later dicussed at home with family members as I sadly had to leave early last night. One thing that came up that perhaps being "alone on a Saturday night" may not be by choice and therefore considered "not solitude" where solitude is by choice. I like this differentiation because I have spent many nights "alone at home" when it has been my choice and felt I was getting the solitude I so long desired. I'm looking forward to our October session. Romana
