We are born alone, and then embark on life’s road

But we are never quite alone

 

Our parents initially

Still others

The family, the friends, teachers, colleagues

 

And if we still feel alone

We only have to look to the mountain

Such awesome beauty, that shines with delight

With clouds hanging low, a mysterious cloth – natural art

To realise that we are part of something larger

Someone larger

 

We are never alone

 

And if we still feel alone

We have only to be still

Reflective, meditative … listening

Our thoughts

Others thoughts

Rush in

Are loud

 

We’re visited by the memories of others

The images of others

The sayings of others

The ones who loved us, who still love us

The ones who we care about, cared about, think about, remember

Our thoughts are rich and vivid

Our hearts are rich and warm

 

Surrender the falseness of being alone
