"In solitude we can come to the realisation that we are not driven together but brought together. In solitude we come to know our fellow human beings not as partners who can satisfy our deepest needs, but as brothers and sisters with whom we are called to give visibility to God's all-embracing love.
In solitude we discover that community is not a common ideology, but a response to a common call.
In solitude we indeed realise that community is not made but given."
Henri Nouwen, Clowning in Rome
