I need the solitude as well; during the summer I soak it up and try to store it for the days that are overfilled with people.

I would indeed need those, and lots more besides, if I were banished to a cottage in the Hebrides - my worst nightmare, to be alone in all that quiet.

I can almost smell the flowers (and know their names, thanks to Google) and feel the soft grass beneath my feet. Being one who needs a similar approach to life, I can strongly identify with needing to "draw strength from solitude and peace". We need those gentle Holy Spirit breezes blowing through our minds, "healing, clearing it of accumulated debris. Leaving it fresher". <br />Isn't it reassuring that God understands us completely and delights in all our infinite complexity and variety? Rather as we delight in the world He has given us. Thank you for sharing your precious garden moments enjoying God's presence with us. I have felt inwardly refreshed reading this.
