Belonging
In the case of your belonging
gone undiscovered -
try again.
Then try again and again,
until you find
some measure of belonging
or collapse
into that greater belonging
that was yours
all along.
“A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.”
“God seems to have chosen to manifest the invisible in what we call the visible, so that all things visible are the revelation of God’s endlessly diffusive spiritual energy. Once a person recognizes that, it is hard to ever be lonely in this world again.”
