I like being alone! Not that people are bad or evil. I like being with people but being alone feels much more natural.
Yet the desire to be liked, the desire to be heard, the desire to be an authority, remains. Or, in other words, to seek love in return for love.
Purity of heart is the desire for Jesus alone. That is the aim of the solitary life. Not to escape or be a “spiritual master”. But to turn to Christ wholeheartedly. And allow my actions to follow!
Anyway …
this solitary life
