“Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone.”
~ Paul Tillich
I feel lonely when I am in the crowd. I enjoy being alone amidst the nature.
We were driving to Lachung from Gangtok. On our way, I saw this woman sitting alone under the trees. It looked like she was contemplating, fully absorbed in the nature and greenery all around. And this is exactly what “solitude” means to me.
Well, I know it could have been a much better, clearer picture, but I took this shot from a running car. Hence, not a very clean shot. Hope you don’t mind that! 🙂
