I am reading John O’Donohue’s book, Anam Cara. It's so full of contemplative wisdom. 

There is an amazing section in the book on solitude. He says, “Only in solitude will you come upon your own beauty.” There are those epiphanies that happen when we get away and quiet our thoughts and tune out the world, even if it’s just for a few moments. 

May you free yourself from the “dull facade of the routine” and discover “your own beauty.”
