QUOTE
Being alone means you are
established firmly in the here and
the now and you become aware of what is happening in the present
moment. You use your mindfulness to become aware of every feeling,
every perception you have. ... not to be caught in the past or
carried away by the future,
but always to be here, body and mind united, aware of what is happening
in the present moment. That is real solitude.
--Thich Nhat Hanh, The Heart of the Matter
