Guiding Thought

We are ALL One. I am not alone. Alone becomes All One in Unity and Healing. I am that which you are, which we become together. There is no separation—through healing and forgiveness, we unite. At One there are no limits, at One there are no boundaries. At One I am free—with you.

Reflection

I’ve been holding the panic and anxiety at bay with mantra and prayers. This experience has opened conversations with people of faith, and about how we negotiate the trials, balance the line between maintaining faith and being human, and generally just get through it. I have felt a rewarding camaraderie with these people, a feeling of “I’m not the only one”. Even though I am going through this alone, I don’t feel alone.

I grew up pretty much autonomous, left to my own devices to figure things out for myself. I’m not used to having support, encouragement, or help to get me through things.

When something is outside my field of vision, if I don’t go looking for it, I don’t see it. That has been the case for me most of my life regarding this. I just never thought about help, or asking for it.

Now, I think I am opening to it, through my prayers. And, I’m getting a response: people listen with compassion and share their experiences. I’m not alone.

It’s really nice.
