Via the Brain Pickings site, I discovered this post from Artist Louise Bourgeois on How Solitude Enriches Creative Work. The article is written by site founder Maria Popova. This thought especially caught my interest:
"Our capacity for what psychoanalyst Adam Phillips has termed fertile solitude is absolutely essential not only for our creativity but for the basic fabric of our happiness — without time and space unburdened from external input and social strain, we’d be unable to fully inhabit our interior life, which is the raw material of all art."
Take some time to read the complete article for more great ideas. Do you regularly give yourself the gift of solitude?
