E,
It is important to
understand and accept that the lonely planet is you. There is no space for
another human being inside your own soul. We are disappointed in people,
mostly, for not filling holes in spaces inside us they were not designed to
feel. They have their own stuff going on. We can share a journey but not one
single, we can share moments but not every bit of time and space, and we can be
close but never, ever, the same single being.
These spaces are as
infinite as the God who intends to fill them. We are all single stars in the
firmament of heaven. This hunger we feel from that dark nothing and light
everything we come from is insatiable and very real. We must learn to lean into
it. It is not to be avoided or pushed away or glossed over or denied. We will
learn, through much trouble and debauchery, that it still comes back to that
same single place: your own heart, your own soul, your own silence, and your
own reach for the divine. Thankfully, the divine has always and already been
reaching for you.
