Alone

We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self.

It is a way of bitter suffering.

But when our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible.
And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity,
for in our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.
―Hermann Hesse, Reflections. Image: author unknown. Composition: Midwives of the Soul

Alone?

Alone?

The ground to carry you
The air to breathe
Sound to hear
Light to see
Smell to smell
All there for you …

Darkness to surround you
The candle burning for you
The bread you eat
The water you drink
The warmth you feel
All there for you …

The stars at the sky
The moon shining for you
The clouds drifting
The rain on your hair
The wind in your face
All there for you …

All is there for you alone, now, always …

Blessings
for all the days
For you
alone …
