When I am alone, I feel like a day-old glass of water.
~Diane WakoskiBeing alone can be like water without bubbles. It's a little flat. It's a little boring. If we're staying away from people to avoid conflicts, then we need to be especially careful. We can easily develop a bad case of "Stinking thinking" if we sit by ourselves too long.
That's why we don't go it alone for more than a day. It's good to touch base with other people for at least a few minutes every day. Human contact keeps the waters of life moving, fresh and sparkling. When we share what we are thinking and talk it over with others, it's like refilling with fresh water.
