Is anybody listening?

There are times when we feel alone and isolated. We wonder if there is anyone who cares about what is happening in our life. There are even those who we might consider to be the greatest models of spiritual development who have felt forsaken. The answer to this situation is that we are never abandoned. It may be that we are not feeling connected, but that connection is always there to be made. All we need do is acknowledge that we are in need of help and the necessary resources are sent to us. My favorite statement to whatever cares for me is, "I know you never give me more than I can handle, but right now you are really pushing it. So either change what is going on or give me the strength to get through this." In every case something shifts and I move on. I think that we can ask for assistance in whatever way feels most natural for us. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Someone or something is always available to listen and respond with love.
