Solitude

 Our interior solitude that can develop with meditation practice is a way to forget this false self that seems to guide us along into the mess of our life.  Interior solitude touches and activates a deeper energy that can course through us so we can act in a more loving way.  This deep energy, this spark, is the only thing of value to give someone in love.  Too many times when we say, “I love you,” we mean that you give me something that makes me feel better.  And so when I stop feeling better I will move on to someone else that will give me good feelings.  This is consumer love.  It is an illusion.
