Naut, I know you know...
It is not that we are alone... sometimes it is who we can allow in.

I read this yesterday, but did not comment because it touched me and forced me to reflect, as so many of your writings do. And I discovered more than I could express in a brief passage, so let me just say that I am no stranger to loneliness, but I have not yet found a way to overcome it...

thanks, Tzippy--I appreciate what you say here.
The body is never outside such an experience... it yearns to be touched, held, appreciated... and it is hard to fill that hunger, even knowing that spiritually we are never alone.
It is necessary to love yourself... but there is still a hunger to be loved by someone not yourself.

I experienced the same thing
but not in the virtuall, in the physical, and it drowns you the same and the reasons are the same, and love is what we are thirsty for.
one of things that saves the day is the true knowledge of the fact that we are never alone, and lots more things that i found as i healed
But for you, know that you are loved, that you are special and that everything will be brighter once you complete the journey. Your love is already waiting for you, get on the journey and join the love. Be the love you desire.

Jan, this is maybe the whole point
of experiencing that loneliness and surviving.

Wiley,
I think if I can just find my whole self, that will have to do. And that's not bad.

It is terrible to be in that place alone, but a wounded healer brings something which the non-wounded can't even see.

I do hear you with this post
You have expressed here something I have been/am going through too. I think if we can be at one with ourselves then we can be a rock for others. But it's up to them if they choose to lean on the rock. Sometimes it's perhaps enough that the rock is there. I have to be careful otherwise i could write on and on and on... and you said it so beautifully.

Re: You aren't in a place alone...my heart is sitting there with you and you
Thanks, Kabu, for both being there... and I know you know what I've been writing of... and for the invitation, and I surely will come visit when I can! (Selling a few photos to fill the gas tank! Else it will be a while... )
