Is There Anybody Out There?
Photograph by flickrich
There is the belief that we are all connected universally, and I do not mean just by computers, phone technology, cameras or whatever. There is something more intrinsic and common between us. Therefore one might think one is never alone. But, today, I feel total solitude. Most of the time when I feel such things, it is peaceful. Today it just seem lonely.
My question is:
Is there anybody out there?
And….if you feel like being deeper, feel free to share your ideas on the collective.

I remember one time feeling really lonely and cut off from the world and then thinking to myself that quite probably, in that very moment, I had that feeling in common with millions of people across the planet ;-).

I would not like to be alone in the Universe but I like being alone in my own space. Not all the time, but enough so I can wallow in my own mind and without responsibilities for any one else’s comfort.
If I quiet my mind then my connection to other people comes through loud and clear. I know my friends are there, tho miles and miles away. Sometimes I know their concerns at the moment. Sometimes I know they are thinking of me at the moment as well.

You are the “seeing “of the separateness (loneliness) and of the community (togetherness).
You are complete.

I’m out here. I’m out here with my cat Simon who is chewing on my money tree plant. What a character. I call him Simon because he reminds me of “The Saint” character from years ago. His fur looks like a tuxedo.
I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, 1 bird, 1 husband and an intimate relationship with God. Between all of them - especially the later - I never feel alone anymore.
I am grateful to the hardships I went through in the past ten years - went bust in 1992. My next business exploded on 9/11. Without those downsizes – disasters – whatever you want to call them - I never would have what I have today … a husband, a bird, three cats, two dogs and a hand in glove relationship with God.
Hugs to you and to anyone reading this.

I generally feel pretty alone. There are moments where I glimpse a kind of connectedness, but I’m still trying to tap into it.
