We Are None Of Us Alone*

There is a pain in loneliness that kills hope.

To be alone is bleak. It is to find yourself without connection. Seperate.

Yet we are never alone. By virtue of our origins in the same soil and the rays of the one sun we are all of this one place. This is a home to us all.

We are never alone so long as we look to the same night sky and dream. We are never seperate so long as the morning light warms us all. We are always connected so long as we breathe this one air.

I am with you always and you are with me. All together on this one big ball. All at home.
