What is yours by grand design will always be yours. So never grieve the loss of a material thing or a relationship. It was perfect for you to have whatever it is at that time. It was necessary for your own growth and for that person's growth.

Of Free Will and God's Design
That there is a straight line between two points is a mathematical truth. Free will allows us to take as many loops as we like to get from one point to the other. The straight line is the shortest but it takes a strong will and a lot of discipline to get there. Regardless, all roads lead to God.

Thus When We Pray
Thus when we pray, we ask only for a pure heart. For with it comes the Wisdom that is of Solomon's, the Faith of the saints and sages, of Isaac, Abraham, Moses,David, the Centurion, the compassion of Jesus Christ, the peace born of the Holy Spirit and the Unconditional Love that is God.

Fundamental Aloneness
I remember reading this from "The Myth of Freedom" By Chogyam Trungpa "The view from the top is awesome and as an occasional tourist one delights in it, but no one wants to live in such desolate places. It is terrifying, lonely." It is.
It is lonely. You want to take others with you to keep you company.It is a basic human need, but one cannot. We each have to bear our crosses, we each have to realize who we are and no one can take us there. No one. We have to do the work ourselves.
