A man sitting alone in a small boat in the vast ocean is indeed a lonely and frightening thing. At least it is if you truly believe you are alone. Perhaps you really are alone, but only because you choose to shut down those connections that exist between all of us, between humans and angels, between humans and God. The connections exist, they have been scientifically proven. Physicists call it “entanglement”, these connections that exist between everyone and everything. 
    So if everyone and everything is connected, none of us is ever alone, unless we choose to be. We all know the stories of how with some twins, if you hurt one, the other feels pain. And the stories about the mother who senses there is something wrong with her child even though the child is a thousand miles away. So even that guy, alone in his dingy on a vast ocean, is not truly alone and he has the ability to contact others and let them know of his predicament if he believes he can do it and wants to do it. Without belief in anything beyond himself though, he really is completely lost.
