Tonight, I was thinking about the planets.  From Mercury all  the way to the now defunct Pluto.  I like to wonder about things.  Anything.  And sometimes I wish I knew things about how life works.  Our living matter.  Our energy matter.

Yet, we cannot ever really know these things.  No matter how much knowledge we acquire… be it self-awareness… or otherwise….. I think we should always keep sight of our smallness.  We should remember just how BIG the Universe Is.   How completely infinite our Universe is.

I think when we admit that we really can not know it all…..  we find the possibility of new possibilities.  Like… we can begin to open our hearts  and learn about our Inner-Self.   And it is this profound Inner-Self that knows the  truth about things.  What direction to take.  On any given day.  It can guide us in doing the next right thing.

Introspection is a good thing at these times.  And so is Devotion.

In that way…. I mean this.  Devotion can be a lot of things.  But when we realize how small we are, in the grander scheme of things…. we can have a realization that there might be something which is higher and bigger and greater than our individual selves.    Than us.

And….. even if we cannot comprehend what this may be, we can acknowledge that something greater than our egos exists.

There is a huge difference between the ego/personality part of us…. and the “energy” part of us…. that is the light within us.  The part that knows clarity.

Perhaps… we can use meditation, or prayer…. or whatever you want to call it….  to make contact with this  ‘Energy Within Ourselves”….. with our ”Soul Selves” ( As well as our Universal Connection.  Because even though we are small… we truly ARE connected in a great big way.)

So.  I say these things, and I hope they are true.  I am constantly searching for new things to learn. New ways to see.  Yet it is SO difficult to see for myself.  To know what path to take, and how to do it.

I know it is there… I just can’t seem to find that ultimate connection. Like so many others have.  In this way, I say these things… in hopes that I will find clarity…

… and continue to grow and learn, in my human being self.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
