And, Patricia, I too see "solace" as a meditative frame of mind. Sometimes, though (if I'm lucky), the meditative "quiet" times turn into times of writing as well. It's nice to have a place/situation that allows flowing from one state into the other...<br />Of course, there are the folks (and I know a few), who find solace walking down/up (directionally challenged here) Madison Ave in NYC. And there is something, I'll admit, about becoming one with the crowds... Although that not one of my "places." I think the solace for me comes more from the walking.<br />Ah! Walking! I think I'll address that tonight...Ann Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177732952658080784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536117447494278.post-25038065039295623042009-11-04T14:38:50.960-08:002009-11-04T14:38:50.960-08:00Wow, so many.

Lately I've been loving jumping on my bike and riding on the bike path through the docks at the marina and down to Dockweiler Beach. So beautiful.<br /><br />In fact...I might go do that now...Other Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079055348844157557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536117447494278.post-89315196410278034122009-11-04T14:36:13.350-08:002009-11-04T14:36:13.350-08:00By the way, glad to see you're blogging again,...By the way, glad to see you're blogging again, Ann.

Another is a comfortable chair at the library. <br /><br />When I think of solace, however, I don't think of a writing place. I think of a reading or meditation place.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536117447494278.post-70957556813718062922009-11-04T13:07:11.908-08:002009-11-04T13:07:11.908-08:00Coffee is one of my solaces.
