Summary:
When Buddhist writer Stephen Batchelor turned sixty, he took a sabbatical from his teaching and turned his attention to
solitude
, a practice integral to the meditative traditions he has long studied and taught. He aimed to venture more deeply into
solitude
, discovering its full extent and depth. This literary collage documents his multifacted explorations. spending time in remote places, appreciating and making
art
, practicing
meditation
and participating in retreats, drinking peyote and ayahuasca, and training himself to keep an open, questioning mind have all contributed to Batchelor's ability to be simultaneously
alone
and at ease. Mixed in with his personal narrative are inspiring stories from
solitude
's devoted practioners, from the Buddha to Montaigne, from Vermeer to Agnes Martin.
