Out of this sense of belonging, the world seems to call to us, to recognise us, and to speak to us directly, the voice itself an embodiment of our particular nature, and the way that nature finds a home in the world. At best. this conversation between ourselves and the world becomes our work.*
David Whyte

Happiness cannot be pursued, it can only ensue.
Viktor Frankl

When we belong to ourselves –
That is, when we are at home in our lives –
We also feel at home in the world and universe.

It’s not that the world behaves as David Whyte imagines it,
But it feels as if it recognises and speaks to us,
And this sense of belonging is more than enough for us to be
creative and to make our
contribution.

Here in our sense of belonging are found
the two questions I often refer to –
The personal and the social myths Joseph Campbell believes that
we each need:
Who is my True Self?
What is my Contribution?

There are many places we may feel
we do not belong,
But never here,
You always belong here.
