The Spirit is with you - always

Through the years, I've heard many, many life stories of people who "discovered" that they were not alone, that they had never been alone, that they were guided by the Spirit - God, Mary, Jesus, Buddha, Ba'haullah, the Mother - and that once they discovered this, their lives had changed.

I, too, have such a story in my life. Sometimes, the story line gets played out again and again, as I "re-member" that I am not alone.

It is true that in the moments of life, we are alone in a particular way. We are alone when we're born (unless we're a twin, but that only clouds the truth!), we're alone in our own particular journey, we're alone when we are going through difficult times,we are alone when we die. We may work hard to hide this truth from ourselves by surrounding ourselves with other people, people who we think will shield us from our deep loneliness.

On the other hand, we are not ever really alone. The One who has created us and who is creating us is alway with us, ready to be called upon in the darkest hours of the night, ready to be called upon as we are wheeled down the hospital hall into surgery, ready to be called upon when we are left alone with our children, our spouse taken from us too early. Whatever our need, we can call out the Name of the One who is always with us, ready to be known to us.

That One is waiting, now, for you to call out. Stop looking, now, name the One who cannot be named, and wait...

Warmly,
