The fairy godmother replied that true magic is to help each thing become it’s best and most free self.*
Rebecca Solnit

A daemon is a calling, obsession, a source of lasting and sometimes manic energy. … when you are looking for a vocation, you are looking for a daemon. … You are trying to find that tension or problem that arouses great waves of moral, spiritual and relational energy.**
David Brooks

To become our best self –
Our True Self –
It is highly likely that
we will need to identify a cause:
Not any old cause,
Not someone else’s cause,
But one that is deeply personal
and will make the world better.
