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
It’s all a conversation
Between night and day
Between mist and clarity
Darkness and light**
Lemn Sissay
There it is:
The problem that stirs all your energies^ –
Now you see it, you cannot
unsee.
Yes, it frustrates you
like crazy, and you fail
more times than makes sense,
But you are more alive than ever.
It’s not perfect, but
this imperfection animates you,
So you are engaged and creative
between this and that.

^What is this for you? If you’ve never written it down, try doing this. What is wanting to emerge or unfold?.
