Saturday was a much needed day of nothing. It was a day of shutting the curtains, sleeping in, and giving my soul a retreat. I went on a bicycle adventure and took the above panoramic of one of my new favourite spots to ride to.
Have you ever tried to live in complete solitude for a day? By "solitude" I mean not contacting (that is, not speaking to, emailing, texting, etc.) anyone for a full twenty-four hours.
Needless to say, solitude is difficult. I am by no means an outgoing person or an extrovert and I still found the seclusion to be onerous. I am not used to my soul being quiet. Most people living here probably are not used to their souls being quiet. However, my experience in solitude was a salubrious one.
Besides doing a lot of bicycling, I have also been playing a lot of bathtub sudoku, which is exactly it sounds like: playing sudoku in the bathtub. This activity is, perhaps, atypical and peculiar at best, but it is been a considerable source of relaxation for me recently.
