First Reach

First reach: 

loneliness is the reminder of my misperception, hinting that even with a prayerful life there are times I still stray a bit farther from my home. In this sense it serves as a path guide, a navigational tool to help me remember that even an urge to connect with God is actually union, perhaps being the holiest of all prayers, and is already answered, immediately and intimately so...

 in  my very first reach for comfort.

I love you, Eric

A Little Less Lonely

A little less lonely: 

thinking about my life, at this age, and with whatever ambition that's left me in - and what I find as I seriously consider this inquiry, is loneliness, a subtle sense of being slightly set apart from the world and wishing to connect in a truly meaningful way. Yet this actually feels like a gift to me, as if everything has led me to this point, and all I have to do is allow myself to surrender to this moment.

so that little ambition that's left?

it's to give myself away, completely so, being present to whatever life offers in this moment without manipulation nor demands. To just be....to just be....to just be....

and if I find you here, with me, present -

to help you feel a little less lonely

too.

Holy Encounter

Holy encounter: 

we could view our loneliness as a miscommunication, that the falseness of the ego is wishing for a sense of completion from deep within its dream of separation. My own loneliness tells me this is so, as well as my wish to feel whole amongst the broken pieces of an often shattered life. These days the lines of communication feel more open, linked in to an innate wholeness that holds my brokenness with infinite care and such a holy tenderness. 

and yet...

there's still a wish for intimacy through the heart space provided by another...and this too feels divinely inspired right now, gifted really, how the holiness of another could somehow recognize the holiness within me and we would join in an instant understanding of who we truly are - even for just a moment. 

 loneliness is just a call to recognize ourselves. 

and our wish to share this with another. 

it's preparation for a holy encounter.

be ready.

Our Loneliness

Our loneliness: 

there's a certain quality to our loneliness, a holiness really, an ache that calls for us to explore, as if we're finally given a clear directive to turn within and discover who we truly are. It's with this that I've come to love myself, with the past few years being largely reclusive and mostly by choice. My loneliness has led me home, slowly, a breath at a time it sometimes seems. 

but I'm here now. 

and find there's nowhere else I could possible be. 

I've actually been here all along.

hidden by my own wish to escape this loneliness.

completely missing the holiness of it's call.

yet now I know for certain...

I'm not along at all.
