I know when people hear the word solitude, it has a kind of a pitting feeling in your stomach. It sounds like loneliness, but I think that's one of the biggest things I like to encourage people. Even people that are very social, bits of solitude really feed the mind, body and soul. And I think when we can take time out, to connect with God, there's just endless potential and we ultimately become more of who he intended us to be." -Catherine Goodman Farley — Everyday Spirituality is a podcast from connect.faith; which is a new worshiping community of the Presbyterian Church (USA) unbound by location coming together at the intersection of creativity, spirituality and justice.
