A group photo from my childhood days.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In our worlds <\/em>of big dreams, busy lifestyles and digital distractions available at a click of a button, we have lost a wonderful friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This friend has helped so many of us produce works that have inspired, revolutionized and transformed our world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This friend was the reason for the imaginative quests of Einstein, the musical mysteries of Mozart, the immortal songs of Hafiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inspiration for our <\/em>global cultural, literary and scientific heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is this friend?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am I wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many of us know who we really are beneath our names <\/em>our parents gave us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are we behind our skin? Behind our words?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do we want? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do we need?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So many of us find spirituality so inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is spirituality?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a new friend. Discovering yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to do that?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you make friends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do what you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask yourself questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live with the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you’re lonely when you’re alone, you’re in bad company.”<\/p>\n— Jean-Paul Sartre<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Don’t be lonely when you’re alone. You’ll be missing out on so much life has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next time you’re alone, try this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
