The other day I came across the phenomenon of solitude influencers, and felt a mix of curiosity and sadness.

These are women who share their solitary lives online, many declaring they have no friends, and that they prefer it that way.

What they are saying is: I don’t need anyone, and that is freedom.​​

We live spirituality in the body.

There’s a felt sense to spiritual experience and a physiological state the body enters when it contacts a power larger than us.

You may have felt it in prayer or in ceremony, and you may have felt it in a moment of awe so vast it cracked you open. In the particular quality of light entering your room on a given morning, as you breathed in awareness, taking it in.
