Solitude

There are many who live in the mountains and behave as if they were in the town, and they are wasting their time. It is possible to be a solitary in one's mind while living in a crowd, and it is possible for one who is a solitary to live in the crowd of his own thoughts. --Amma Syncletica

this reminds me of the time I went to the monastery with a friend and spent a good bit of her time there talking on her cell phone.
