"work is love made visible.
and if you cannot work with love but only with distaste,
it is better that you should leave your work
and sit at the gate of the temple
and take alms of those who work with Joy."--kahlil gibran
please note: alms does not actually mean unemployment checks. Gibran may have lived in a simpler time....
however, I get the point. I have been struggling greatly lately with some stretching and growing, career related i suppose, certainly brought on by the economic woes of our country and school systems, and what I feel is my unsure footing in a job that I truly love.
Other strengths and interests are pulling me away from a situation that may no longer be right for me. A long commute, time away from my family, achy joints and sleep issues that are harder to control all combined with a potential layoff.
Do you seek employment consistent with your beliefs and in service to society?.....Do you try to direct such emotions as anger and fear in creative ways?
Queries for tomorrow's beach visit. For now, patience will have to be enough, or I will have to realize that is is enough... or I am.... enough.
