Are we ever totally alone? This is one question I used to ask myself. As
a teenager, I had often gone through days when I felt totally alone and
completely abandoned. Even when surrounded by family and friends, I had
felt there was nobody for me in the universe. And, there was no one to
whom I could say what I was going through for fear of being laughed at.
Mercifully, such agonizing thoughts assail me no longer. Even when there
is no one physically by my side, I do not feel abandoned. Not that
people have suddenly all become very good and kind or my troubles have
evaporated completely. I have a companion now who never leaves my side.
He is usually silent but I can feel him even in my pulse, for such is
his personality. My companion’s presence is enough to nurture and heal
me as I fight this battle called life. If we look inside our hearts,
each one of us will find a companion who never leaves us. For some of
us, the companion is a soul-mate who understands, for some it is values,
for some it is called love and for others, God.Whatever
name you call your silent companion, always remember
he is by your side.
