But The Delights Of Solitude

Everyone Needs Some Time To Themselves.

Naturally Enough When I Was A Young Dancer, I Was Terribly Anxious To Get Ahead, And To Get Ahead Quickly. I Was Impatient With All Those Older People Who Talked Of The Long Grind To The Top, Who Turned Me Down For Jobs I Knew I Could Do.

If We Fix A Goal And Work Towards It, Then We Are Never Just Passing Time.

No Matter How Much We Love Our Family And Friends, A Part Of Us Needs The Occasional Moment Of Solitude As A Plant Needs Water. It Is The Inmost Core Of Each Of Us That, That Part Which Nobody Can Define But Which We All Recognize Because It Never Changes.

I Have Always Found It Difficult To Wait For Things - Whether It Was To See My Father Or Sailor Brother, Alan, Again After Their Long Sea Trips, Or The Chance Of A Better Job, Or Even New Curtains.
