We should not imagine then that the lonely place is necessarily a place far away, or that by room he means four walls that separate us physically from others.
The room is the room within ourselves. it is the room of our innermost heart, where our plans are hatched, where our hopes reside, where our true self is to be found. this room is with us at all times. we carry it around wherever we go. We should make it a place where we can retreat, a home where we find rest and spiritual recovery when "the world is too much with us" Then we will make an exciting discovery that the inner room is not empty at all, but is occupied by the God of love who dwells in us all.
