Commentary, Being Alone, Suspect, Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“What a commentary on our civilization, when being alone is considered suspect; when one has to apologize for it, make excuses, hide the fact that one practices it – like a secret vice!” - Aviator/writer Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Happily wed to charming Charles, she envied nothing so much as the “austere peace” of monks.
