thoughts on solitude

i recently read an incredible article by william deresiewicz on the "end of solitude". here are some of my favorite passages from the article:

"If boredom is the great emotion of the TV generation, loneliness is the great emotion of the Web generation. We lost the ability to be still, our capacity for idleness. They have lost the ability to be alone, their capacity for solitude...Today's young people seem to feel that they can make themselves fully known to one another. They seem to lack a sense of their own depths, and of the value of keeping them hidden. If they didn't, they would understand that solitude enables us to secure the integrity of the self as well as to explore it."

how do you go about finding solitude in your day, in your life?
