Walls Don’t
Mean Alone

Let me give you the picture again, because it’s the whole teaching: you might be alone in your cube-sized room, but two blocks away there’s someone sitting in their living room watching TV, drinking Coca-Cola.

That person is awake. Existing. Living a whole life — two blocks from yours. And that’s what it means to not truly ever be alone.

Just because you’re separated by walls and fences doesn’t mean you’re alone. Walls divide rooms. They don’t divide existence.

We’ve developed and become so modern in how we structure society — so much privacy, so much safety in a way we’ve never had before — and because of that, we feel more alone.

Walls don’t mean alone.

But you are truly never alone. And here’s the part that changes how you live: who you are in your house is who you are talking with your best friend the next week. You are the same person.

So you need to treat your life as if you are never alone — because you’re truly not. The private you and the public you were never supposed to be two different people.

The danger was never the quiet house. The danger is the belief. Once you start believing you’re alone, you start living like you’re alone — and that’s where you start losing yourself.

Live like you’re never alone — because you aren’t.

So today, live the same person in every room. The God who will not fail you or forsake you is in the kitchen with you. The souls of this city are existing all around you. Walls don’t mean alone.
