Where did you see it? What's the context?

* For it standing alone would only mean to me as just "Be Real" said: Someone meditating in an isolated location and recollecting all his emotions digging inside his heart searching his real feelings that are not biased by the things around him. I think this person is trying to make a new decision in his life.

* This is what I love doing, often.

To me this would say that you are remembering an emotional moment in your life when your life has become peaceful. For instance, many years after, you remember the feeling you had for your first love.

It really would help if you provide the context for the sentence - whether you read it in a book giving the preceding sentences, or heard it somewhere.

Hi, im so happy for your interpritation. Well i think the best way to understand this statement is to divide it in three categories.The first one is emotions which actualy stand for the strong feeling like sorrow,hate,love. The second one is recollected which means to collect again something happened in the past,in fact to fell calm or to remember things. The last one tranquility which means being tranquil,calmness. WELL to sum up, there is a feeling of sadness,isolation,searching for real feeling,remembering an emotional moment. PLEASE if you have something to add dont hesitate. its a pleasure.thanks.

I wouldn't think that "Emotion"would necessarily mean "sadness"but some feeling that you somewhat cherish or some emotional moment in life as Anglika puts it.
I do sometimes isolate myself in a sanctuary counting all of my blessings and the joys that I have had experienced just recently. I do it with my sorrows and frustrations too.
