Alone in the Universe

"I am too alone in the world and not alone enough to make every moment holy."
Rainer Maria Rilke

Ultimately we are alone in the world.  Even though I was with Dwane as he died, it was a journey he had to take alone.  I had read and witnessed that some people prefer to die with no one there, so I kept leaving and walking briefly in the lobby to give him that opportunity, but he chose to die with me beside him.  What does it mean to be too alone and not alone enough?  I find it a fine balance between time for prayer and solitude and time for connection and relationship.  How about you?
