Author Leon Neyfakh notes, “Solitude has long been linked with creativity, spirituality and intellectual might.” Certainly I agree with that. I don’t go to the cottage to get away as much as to tap into something inside me that needs discovering. Sure, I learn from and with others, but in the long run my creativity, however miniscule, bursts forth from a solitary place within me.
