“In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude. One must overcome the fear of being alone.”

-Rollo May

I have enjoyed solitude all my life. Lying on a dewey lawn on a summer night looking at the stars and dreaming about one thing or another were perhaps my most pleasant memories of childhood.

Even in my adult years, I cherished my solitude. If it weren’t for that very chance meeting in a hallway with my future wife, I would likely have remained alone all of my life. For the last five years I am once again in the LOMO (Life On My Own) mode and my creativity has soared.

Just by circumstances, I came across Rollo May, the author of the quote above. I am going to try to find the book he authored in 1974.
