You Are Not Alone

By Christine Metawati

This morning, I was watching two blue jays in my front garden, and listening to the songs of birds. I was looking and listening with a soft awe and appreciation. I had a beautiful realization, "I am not alone. I am never alone."

My first response was, "Huh?" My second response was a deep smile from within me. An understanding unfolded from deep within. With life so abundant and beautiful, all I have to do is tune into whatever pleases me, and I am no longer alone. How could I be? When I am admiring life, I am connected to the Life Force itself, I am connected to all the infinite possibilities that Life offers.

The truth is I am never alone even if I am by myself or feel alone. If I felt lonely, that's because I have chosen to disconnect from Life for whatever reason. Life doesn't disconnect from me! This knowing has kept me smiling all day.

So, if you ever feel lonely and needing company, may I recommend that you tune into life and open your heart to connect with it deeply. Not connecting in the way of looking for a romantic companion, per se. Instead, you can choose to connect on a soul level: recognize the wonder and beauty in the myriad forms of life.

Maybe the wind will touch your heart today. Maybe a blossom or a butterfly will whisper to you about how wonderful you are. Maybe the clouds can help put a skip in your steps.

You will discover your own unique and special ways to tap into the Great Love that connects us all.
