Alone?

Uncertainty often makes me feel off kilter.
Am I alone in this feeling?
Or are there others who feel separated, even though they are together on the edge?
I can feel lost in the midst of others.
A loneliness I am choosing, yet not choosing at all.
Why can’t I join in?
Connect?
Be part of a group?
I feel closed.
But what if I were to open?
Look around and see others are like me?
Perhaps I wouldn’t feel adrift.
I could take root.
And grow.

I am an author, artist, and Quaker mystic with a deep passion for spirituality. I practice a number of spiritual disciplines which have led to several books.

My latest book, Meditations on Mendocino: A Daily Devotional, has 366 entries of meditative, prayerful reflections on nature from the northern California coast.

Reflections on the Fox River and Beyond: A Daily Devotional, is similar, from the Chicago area.

Dialogues with the Divine, is a record of dialogues between myself and God from 2001 to 2011.
