Loneliness is one of the hot topics right now, and for good reason–study after study shows that we Americans are more isolated, less befriended than ever before. This is a real and painful problem, and I won’t solve it in 20 minutes. But I will be able to “soften” the subject with a look at other modes that can deepen and enrich out lives, by looking beyond loneliness to Aloneness and to her sibling state of being, Solitude. The latter is a spiritual discipline of some power–and can help us deal with the rising tide of loneliness.
