'Always
remember… to retire at various times into the solitude of your own heart
even
while outwardly engaged in discussions or transactions with others.
This
mental solitude cannot be violated by the many people who surround you
since
they are not standing around your heart but only around your body.
Your
heart remains alone in the presence of God.'
St. Francis de Sales
Painting: Carl Larsson, 1904
