Bigger than you and me

Leaving the work to find its own place in the world is the mark of a good workman, a good workwoman … Out of what is hidden we make the visible and then call it work; work that makes sense of the hours we are privileged to live.*
David Whyte

Watch the stars in their courses and imagine yourself running with them.**
Marcus Aurelius

Here are two questions that will last a lifetime:
Who is my True Self?
What is my work (contribution)?

Our best work will find the people who need it, and
will last our lifetimes – it may not be
the work we are paid for, though it may be.

The work we love, making what we see
visible to others, may be a small thing in such a vast universe, but it also
provides us with a journey greater than ourselves.

What is your work?
