“I feel giddy in this spacious moment of silence—as if I have snuck through a secret passageway to my private universe in the woods—where I am not mom, teacher, healer, wife, sister, daughter, awkward acquaintance, or friend. I am just me.”
I found myself in a similar space this summer when I was seeking solitude in some Michigan woods. Makes me realize I need to go back.
I’ve had the phrase “make like a tree and be” rolling around in my head since then- I think it comes from the same feeling. I need to write about it...

Yes! 💜 I’m so glad to share that feeling with someone. I wondered if this would just be a weird story that only makes sense to me. 🤭

Ooh I love that!
I love this concept of a solitude sandwich and I love your selfies! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you! I have not had a solitude sandwich today and I am reeeal hungry for one. 😐😄
