Like the Sun Going Down on Me....

Not sure why, but this song that this above line is from popped into my head when I sat down to blog just now.  So I did a video search on Youtube and found the one below.  I really like the music, the words are interesting and of course, its Elton John.  I was on my front porch, watching the sun go down. Seemed fitting.  

But then I read this line and heard it as I played the video: "Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see".  Yes, I do search myself, often, but you probably figured that out if you read any of these blogs.  But what resonated with me was the part that says "its always someone else I see."  Not sure why, but I think it might be because looking inward I usually see what I think others see.  Who is that, that "someone else"?  

I believe we are all different in different situations and with different people. We adjust ourselves according to the situation.  Human beings learned long ago to be flexible in order to survive.   

If I look long enough, the facades melt away.  I begin to see the someone at my core who is the real me.  It is the one who is consistently there; the one who never changes.  It is the essence, the soul, the spark of life.  It is God who there, at the center of all that I am.  And whatever you believe or don't believe about God, it seems there just has to be someone or something that is behing all that we are or hope to be.

So when the sun goes down and the night begins, I turn inward and know.  I know the Truth and I can rest.  I then remember just who this someone else I see, is.  And in the still of the twilight, it is very much like the sun going down on me.
