Some moments feel heavier than others.

Moments when connection feels distant from God or the universe,

From life's meaning,

Or from the brilliant light within you.

Moments when the world feels far away.

When your heart feels like it's speaking into an empty room.

This feeling of being alone,

It's not a failure of faith,

It's not proof that you've been forgotten.

It's a human emotion moving through a human heart.

So pause for a moment,

Notice where you are,

And notice how your breath moves,

How it moves like autumn clouds drifting across a bright winter sky.

And realize you are the sky,

And your feelings are the passing clouds.

Some move quickly with the wind,

And others linger in the warm summer air.

So let whatever feeling is here be present.

Notice it,

Observe it,

And allow it to pass.

As you let go,

Your mind begins to open,

And new possibilities emerge.

Instead of shrinking from this feeling,

Meet it.

Instead of being pulled downward,

Let's rise up.

Shift from feeling alone to simply being present.

Here,

Aloneness can become a quiet sanctuary.

A place of stillness,

A place to reflect,

A place where something new can take shape.

Sometimes loneliness is a pause.

Sometimes it's an invitation to listen more deeply.

Sometimes it's your heart clearing the noise,

So something more honest can be heard.

To be human is to feel.

Joy teaches us about sorrow.

Connection teaches us about solitude.

Each emotion informs the other,

Shaping the fullness of being alive.

So here,

Feeling alone becomes space,

And in that space,

Light appears.

And should this feeling return,

As it may,

You'll know how to greet it.

Not by escaping,

But by returning to presence and to your truth.

So rest here for a moment longer,

And know this.

Even when you feel alone,

You're part of something greater.

A life shaped by moments,

By love,

By insight,

By feeling,

And by becoming.

Until next time.
