We are not meant to be alone…

Incubated in our mother’s womb..
We are enshrouded, kept warm and nourished.

Born into the world, we are protected by parents and community.

Surrounded by other children; our senses are inundated with the newness of the world….and
the unspoken promise of the continuity of our sense of joy, innocence and unquestioned belonging…

It is only once the Veil of Ignorance has been lifted, when the Garden’s Curse first confronts us
with a sense of “self” - that we begin to separate from those around us…
Remade as “me” and all else “other”

Falsely lead into believing “independence” is “freedom”
We strike at the astral cord that binds us all…
And find ourselves wondering why we are morally and spiritually adrift… without purpose;
groundless sheep shorn of the invulnerability and protection
once provided by their innocence and innate ability to love and be loved…

We spend the rest of our lives looking for an elusive “other half”…
Looking to recreate the unconditional security of the womb…

We are not meant to be alone…merely stuck with flesh and bone...our minds our prisons.
Ego and “self awareness” stoic sentinels block what might and should be freely given;
Fear and Regret , demanding and distracting… plague weakened minds with the certainty that in the end… despite what is “meant”… we all die alone, unloved, unknown, and irrelevant.
