It is hard to imagine that we were placed on this planet just to experience difficult things.  Sometimes it may seem as though that as all we are handed and when we are in that focus and space it is hard to get out of it.  One reassurance that has come to me in my daily dates is that I am not alone.  No matter how much experience I have had in the past of abandonment or betrayal or just plain loneliness, it is not the reality in which I live.  I think we experience those times of loneliness to awaken in us a longing to be connected.  We have them so that we can begin to investigate our ego’s story that we are separate.  The moment we commence to take a closer look at the story we begin to find evidence of its falseness.  It is true that we came into this world on our own and when we leave we cannot take anyone with us but there is that long road that we travel in between.  On that road we have many companions.  Some we connect with closely, others we pass along,some we run with, to and others from but we are all on this path together.  I try to seek out the companions with which I can share my experiences authentically and create connection.  Ultimately God is my truest comrade and those with whom I connect most closely are in essence a part of my true comrade, as am I.  My prayer for us today is that we look to find our comrades on our path and recognize how they are an element of God for us and us for them.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
