Not Alone

I was read this touching blog and came across this:

"...in that short span of time when it was just me and the prayers, me and my struggling through the Hebrew, I was suddenly Not Alone inside my heart. In that way I remember from the Rosh HaShanah service of eight years ago that was my first glimpse into the world I was missing and knew I was meant to be a part of. And that feeling is....ah, well, beyond expression. But one aspect of it, is that all that resentment---why me? why this? why now?---drains away, and I am full of sorrow and hope and the full knowledge that I do not carry the burden of this life alone. I am both more fully in reality about my failings, my sins, my mis-shots, and in full and total belief as solid as reality, even more so, that I am in partnership with Someone/Something in my journey toward reparation. So fully aware of my imperfect human-ness while knowing a perfect Holiness exists and holds me as I stumble.

I wish I carried that feeling around more often, could reach in and find it when I need it. But to have touched it again, when I haven't in so long it seems, was....ah, I don't have words."


and I was nourished by the Truth and Sameness of the experience of God.
