3 - Unutterably alone


Essentially we all are alone in our worlds. We are individuals with physical, mental and spiritual differences. No two people are alike.

Then why is it that we place so much importance on empathy? How in the world will another person understand what we think or feel?

“We are unutterably alone essentially, especially in the things most intimate and most important," said Rainer Maria Rilke.

Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves. [Helen Keller ]

Today I wished for miracles- full blown miracles. May our lives be filled with miracles. May our lives be blessed and fulfilled. May we be happy in unutterable loneliness.
