Alone and yet not lonely
From the sounds of the deer blending with the sounds of the birds to the smell of the seaweed on the beach, my solo day saw all of my senses heightened. Sitting alone, not feeling at all lonely, on a beach at 6.30 am in the pitch dark filled me with serenity and somehow seemed to put all of the other parts of my life into perspective. I have had a whole range of emotions and thoughts today, the learning has been enlightening. It seems appropriate to be continuing the rest of the night in silence, though it does seem a little strange to be sitting alongside the others and not talking. I am now very aware of the lack of space and privacy within the old byre; it would be nice to have somewhere more private tonight. Not really too sure what I have had to eat except that it was vegetarian, am I getting to like this? The social area is very hot; I think I will need some fresh air before bedtime.
I am looking forward to being able to speak again tomorrow and sharing experiences with the others. I hope that there will be great learning from it. I wonder how the others are feeling. I am feeling great, it is good to have had something to eat and be in a warm place and in a strange sort of way I feel as though I could do it all again. Today has allowed me the space to be reflective, creative and productive. I think that there are times when if I could sit a little longer in reflection, it would allow a deeper focus on a solution. What will tomorrow bring?
