Lately, I’m very conscious of my persona--the part of me that seeks to impress or pretend interest where there is none. It's a necessary construct but I long to spend more time working from my soulful, innocent, center. When I experience that truthful, generous space, my heart longs for it. My heartfelt prayer is for a vocation that brings out my best. A work that allows me to offer my unique talents from a more open, peaceful, and noncompetitive place.
To my worldly self, my willingness to trade money for meaning can feel like falling backwards off a steep cliff.
I’m comforted when I remember the archetype of the holy fool. Others have embraced his crazy journey. I can too.
