The Joy Of Solitude

The older I get the more I love being alone. I could spend weeks alone if I weren't forced to interact with all kinds of people. Solitude has a depth both real and rather layered as I am discovering. I love being alone - in my own mind - in my own thoughts - surrounded by everything I've chosen to experience. I sit with my Ipod (God how much do I love the simple things like my Ipod) and dissipate countless thousands of hours in reverie. I can sit in front of the fish tank for hours (my beta fish loves me and lets me pet him). I love being alone in my apartment with my piles of books. Dukedom large enough, indeed.
