If we are to be allowed the gift of Solitude let it be on our own terms. If Solitude is forced upon us through circumstance, chosen or not, fate will invite us into a form of Solitude not quite as comfortable as that afforded philosophers and hermits. If Archie discovers the lonely souls he will be strong, if Archie keeps his friends in his 'place' he will never ever be lonely again, and neither will you. Please, I implore you, if you take yourself into the wild lands or remain behind the walls of your home make sure that your Solitude does not become a lonelieness, so hard to bare that you'll accept the first person to offer you companionship, you just might meet Archie, and lord only knows he'll be eternally happy to meet you.
