Let Solitude Welcome You

This quote caused a revelation for me.
I am fortunate to have plenty of solitude.
But here's the thing, and I feel it's important,
your solitude must be kind...
It must be a refuge where you find
the approval you need
and the reassurance you matter 
from within your own body of resources.
Where you become the trustworthy friend 
who sits with you through suffering.
A place where you can ugly cry when necessary.
Where you can face your mistakes and
endure their consequences without undue torment.
 A place where celebration is also a regular occurrence.
Where you can preen and savor every tiny moment of growth.
Where you can rest in quiet confidence that whatever is happening,
whether it feels delicious or delirious or devastating
is fertilizer for strength and resilience.
