Never Really Alone


Never really alone:

that I'm never really alone, or perhaps better said - is that all there is appears from the same seamless source as I do, that I have the company of the world shared within my view. This isn't to make the claim of any ultimate source of pure awareness, it's too personal for that, intimate, and only what comes to me from my own seeing of how life flows from every point of my attention. Wherever I turn there is life and any inward glance reveals me to belong here, an aspect of this all inclusive view, and at no point found separate from any other aspect of the world. 

it's impossible to every truly be alone.

there is only our aloneness.

a singularity of all existence.

this.

and my own deep loneliness of many years largely vanished with this realization, nothing being absent from my life, indeed, the impossibility that anything could even be missing. Everything is here, present, always, and yes, appearances shift and seem to hold a different world with every view, but essence remains, life, unchanged to the fundamental reality of existence.

that I'm never really alone allows for a certain sense of loneliness to appear, being more at ease with whatever now emerges, every experience simply being life in varied expression. Nothing is denied, yet not everything is believed to be completely so, perhaps true only in the moment's sense, but passing, shifting even now to another appearance. With this seen there is no longer a restlessness of pursuit, every contradiction of thought and view now held in seamless fashion. 

everything belongs.

yes, there is aloneness, singular, one existence, and with this realization none of us are ever really alone, not existing apart from anything, and most surely each other. We belong to this aloneness, being all that truly ever is, and all that ever will be.

this.
