The great omission in American life is solitude; not loneliness, for this is an alienation that thrives most in the midst of crowds, but that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incubator of the spirit. ~Marya Mannes

  1. I don't know if a lot of people are like me, but I treasure my alone times. It is when I'm alone that I can think, hear myself and sometimes I'm at my happiest.

  4. Here's one echoing Kayni's comment. I used to spend some ME-time at Bagasbas beach (sa Pinas)....hay sobrang miss ko na yang mga tulad ng ganyan na pagkakataon.

    Re: there were no people around at Al Sarooj bridge...i snapped those photos at the time of Salat al maghrib (sunset prayer for Muslims).

  12. That's a wonderful place to be alone with one's self. Hiking is where I find my best solitude.
