Remember, You Are Never Alone

The night is creeping up so quickly. You had so many plans for the day that has passed. You were sure that today was the day that miracles would come, that they would begin to flow. Yes, you have made some progress, you have removed some of the obstacles in your path, but here you are in the darkest part of the night, still in that place where doubt,  anger, worry reign supreme.

In such moments we begin to feel alone. like a ship without a life raft, no one to call, no one to care.

Remember, we are never alone. The energies around us, the old ones, the ancients, the universe itself is here to hear our cry, our call. There are answers not only within ourselves, but there are messengers sent to Earth to listen, to hear, to care. These divine messengers come because the Great Spirit sends each one to us at just the right time.

An animal or bird we don’t normally see may appear on our path to instinctively give us the strength we may need on that path. An old beggar on the street asking for a few coins may speak words that stun us because they are exactly the words we needed to hear.

We reach out to chat groups for online support and hear craziness, advice that we can barely realistically believe. We have become cynical, forgetting that the universe puts what we need in our path when we need it.

There is no such thing as ‘being alone.’ We have the whole universe around us. So, sing out to the universe your pain, your despair. Your heart will receive the messages you need, the answers you want.

We talk and talk and talk, like a ping-pong ball going back and forth and back and forth, sometimes hitting the table in the right places, sometimes going way over and missing the mark. Often we are so busy thinking of our next words that we send the ball way over the top because we don’t really hear what the other person is saying. We are so busy trying to justify our stance, our position, that we miss important ideas, thoughts.

I learned that I was never alone, that there was Someone always very close by and, indeed, within me, giving me strength in times of weakness and desolation, light in times of darkness, joy in times of great sorrow and pain, and the will to struggle on when continuing seemed futile ~ Joseph F. Girzone

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone gives you courage. But sometimes we just miss the heart. If we listen carefully, we can hear the heart. How often do we hear people say, “I will never get married. I want to be alone.” But the tone, the underlying words that come with it, speak of the loneliness, the fear of being alone.

We are not meant to be alone. All of the universe is set up in pairs. All of Mother Earth reminds us of pairs, mates, even opposites: light and dark, day and night, positive and negative.

We often wonder if, just if, we are meant to have a mate, because the whole process shouldn’t be so hard, shouldn’t take so long? The idea is to build faith, to build courage. Build your own being, your own inner strength, for you will reach your goal only to set another. You will find the answers only to seek more.

But the answers will only come if you love, if you listen.
