About this Episode
Living in difficult times is nothing new, and trying to live a simple peaceful life is not new either. What do when these things work against one another, and our lifestyle is threatened? What makes us react in the way we do, and can we change? Part one of two podcasts in which I explore these issues.

Episode 11: Solitude, simply being alone.
“It's no good trying to get rid of your own aloneness. You've got to stick to it all your life. Only at times, at times, the gap will be filled in. At times! But you have to wait for the times. Accept your own aloneness and stick to it, all your life. And then accept the times when the gap is filled in, when they come. But they've got to come. You can't force them.”
― D.H. Lawrence

From "Advices and Queries" Britain Yearly Meeting
"Try to live simply. A simple lifestyle freely chosen is a source of strength. Do not be persuaded into buying what you do not need or cannot afford. Do you keep yourself informed about the effects your style of living is having on the global economy and environment?"
