This does not mean brooding or self-indulgent musing, but instead practicing a special form of recollection of the past, mindfulness for the present, and envisioning of the future in a manner that is enlivening, clear, and insightful. We learn to be properly solitary, and to carry the depth of our solitude into the world with grace and selflessness.\" -- \u003cb\u003eArthur Zajonc\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen we turn to meditation, we are turning toward renewal, peace, and insight.
