Hastily Return to Solitude

"Never underestimate the social awareness and sense of 

reality in a quiet person; they are some of the most observant, 

absorbent persons of all."

Criss Jami

Once an extrovert, I am now more of a hermit wandering through nature with critters, wildflowers and trees.  Knowledge I once gained through conversation now seems to arrive within a whisper of the wind.  The sense of wholeness can be felt by observing a bird gently soaring across the sky.  

Magic at one time meant all things festive and slick card tricks.  Now I witness magical moments in the transformation of people shifting to higher perspectives.  I experience joy to see a kindred spirit connecting  the dots of life and finally seeing the big picture.  

Once I explored the outer banks of life and now I treasure quiet time to travel into the inner world.   Imagination paints glorious images and the unspoken word comforts my soul.  As I move through the noises of the outer world, I am inclined to hastily return to solitude ... not in loneliness but to experience the  true sense of just being.
