Alone?
I've said before that I've felt like I was alone. I am beginning to think however, that this is not the case at all. Thinking that I am alone seems indulgent to me. I can only be alone with all parts of my existance, this universe, the stillness. When I am alone with the stillness of the universe, the realization of the this creation, which I beleive will be unfolding endlessly, I am filled with love. I think of some wonderful Leonard Cohen lines, one being, "When you're not feeling holy, your lonliness says that you've sinned." The lonliness that I am talking about here is not really loneliness at all. How can one feel lonely in the divine presence of the universe? My lonliness if full. When my ego is lonely, I create self-pity. I am dragging through an endless dessert, the world collapsing on me, the full weight of the world that I am trying to drag. What I am wondering though, is how to switch a person to be free of this weight - the lonely kind of loneliness - the self-created loneliness, to the full, loving kind.
