My Part
I struggle with what is my part to do. And that is in my personal life, my work life and especially my involvement with humanity. I like to be informed so that I can sort through all the information and make decisions that make not only my life more pleasant but for those around me also.
This means that I am working most of the time on my role…….re-evaluating, re-doing; it doesn’t mean I have found the answers yet. I seem to stay in a state of questing, stirring the waters, and digging for deeper meanings. Once in a while I find a place of letting it all go and just being. I’m not sure I’m supposed to stay there yet. There seems to be quite a bit more information I need.
The below quotes resonate with me today:
“The real work is becoming native in your heart, coming to understand we really live here, that this is really the continent we’re on, and that our loyalties are here, to these mountains and rivers, to these plant zones, to these creatures. The real work involves a loyalty that goes back……billions of years. The real work is accepting citizenship in the earth itself.” -Gary Snyder
“Every morning I awaken torn between the desire to save the world and the inclination to savor it.” -E.B. White
