That's inner and outer space...<br /><br />And now I go find a little dark space to take a nap.

Actually there are many poems by Asian Buddhists that praise solitude and the hermit's life, so I'm not sure what it means.<br /><br />The example of Jesus is of crowds repeatedly contrasted with withdrawal into wilderness to be tested or to commune with God.
