First I would truly listen to that person. Then I would just be with that person. I would say that alone is ALL ONE. Once we realize that we have a greater connection and relationship to Oneness and to everything we truly are not "alone" as in isolated/separated. If this "feeling alone" has a feeling loneliness then it is the lack of relationship with one's self. Shift perception from isolation/separation/loneliness/lack to joy/wholeness/completeness/connection. Spiritual optometry: Let's remove these glasses of "Feeling alone" to "Feeling Joy."  If it's the lack of friendship or relationship, be friendly or relate--even if it starts with a hello or a smile.

Furrawn

From Anais Nin I learned the word furrawn- "the intimacy achieved through conversation that leads us to a greater understanding of ourselves, others, and thereby the world at large." (quoted from a filmmaker who created a video diary festival)

I have this need for greater connection in our relationships and in our communication. Conversation that leads to this type of deep connection delights, inspires, enourages, and makes me grow as a person as whole. It makes me feel interconnected with every human being.

My birth name is Glynda Tejada Velasco. I was named Glynda after my birthplace, Glynco county in Georgia (USA) and Glynco Memorial Hospital. The y is pronounced like a short e. When people hear my name they want to spell it Glenda which is a more common spelling. Upon introductions, people joke asking if I'm a "Good Witch?" in reference to Glinda, The Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz. (I know it's spelled Glinda because I read the Frank Baum novel The Wizard of Oz.) I learned Glenda is Welsh meaning "from the Valley."

Tejada is my mother's maiden name. I am proud to have that name because I admire both my grandparents.  My grandfather in particular was highly esteemed by my mother. He was an intelligent and compassionate man who taught himself English reading newspapers his customers left on his bus. He raised his daughters encouraging them to get an education.

Velasco is the sir name, my father's last name.  Once again, my grandfather is also highly esteemed. He was the mayor of Castillejos, a town in the province of Zambales in the Philppines. He was considered one of the last honest politicians. His townmates loved him for his generosity. He won his first election in spite of the fact that his opponents were buying votes. He prided himself in winning the hearts of his townmates.

My mother says that I remind her of both my grandfathers. She also remind me that my grandmothers were business women and I may have inherited that from them too.

Gee, Glynda, how should I answer this question? I don't know. Yes, you do  know. Well, you run around with poetry lines in your head. You get stuck on some word that's hard to rhyme so you randomly rhyme. Ah, yeah. I do that, huh? Well, you do worry a lot. What's to eat? Do  I have time to eat? Where's that shirt? The one that says "Deadlines Amuse Me." Hmmm...Do I have a deadline? You better get started working on that presentation on Reiki. Yeah, but. I gotta clean this mess first. Where are my books? They're in your storage unit. You really gotta cut down on your book spending. But I love books. I know but you can't read all of them at once. Besides, you'd save money not housing those 200 odd books in a storage unit. I have other stuff in their too. Yeah, stuff. When are you gonna start feng shuing. Is feng shuing even a word? Clutter. Yeah, how are you gonna get the Flow flowing if you're blocked up with this *&#@. I know, I know. I really feel like I have the Odd Couple in one woman's body. One's neat and tidy and the other is a slob. Right now the slob won. Where are you going? I thought you were gonna clean this mess. I'm hungry. Why is there soo much food in this fridge but nothing to eat? I'm bored with everything. Food, routine. Oh, hush. Where was I?
