The Solitary Way - Paperback

by Michael Thomas (Author)

"I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company." - Henry Miller

Everyone from Buddha, to Thoreau, to Einstein, to Bukowski found solace and freedom in traveling on the solitary way. Here, Michael Thomas shares the thoughts from his personal solitary journeys in poetic form.
