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. 650 0 $a Solitude. 650 0 $a Spirituality. 650 0 $a Solitude $x Religious aspects. 941 $a 3 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417021020.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20200506010314.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200407010421.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A70653C789511EA8FAC8C5897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
