Solitude

I notice that in the beginning of Genesis when all the creation stuff was going on, chapter 2, God made a human being, one human being.  Then God made all the other stuff, the garden, trees, partner, animals, and eventually clothes.  But in that beginning, before all else, it was just God and the human being, with God-breath.  So what?  So, maybe there is something in our spiritual DNA that requires us to spend some solitude with God, just the two of us, not thinking about all the other stuff that is in our life.  Solitude is not loneliness or even being alone.  God is here with you.  I find that when I get some solitude each day, I am less crazy about all the other things in my life.  Though I think that I am normally crazy, I am really a mystic.  We all are, mystics, that is.  But because we do not give our spiritual DNA some solitude, (stillness and silence), we act kind of….weird.
