The Gift Of An Image Is That

Suppose That Throughout Your Childhood You Were Good With Numbers. Other Kids Used To Copy Your Homework. You Figured Store Discounts Faster Than Your Parents. People Came To You For Help With Such Things. So You Took Accounting And Eventually Became A Tax Auditor For The Irs. What An Embarrassing Job, Right? You Feel You Should Be Writing Poetry Or Doing Aviation Mechanics Or Whatever. But Then You Realize That Tax Collecting Can Be A Calling Too.

Calling Can Refer Not Only To Ways Of Doing - Meaning Work - But Also To Ways Of Being.

The Transfiguration Of Matter Occurs Through Wonder.

We Forget That The Soul Has Its Own Ancestors.

'mediocre' Tends To Mean 'undistinguished', While Snobs Enjoy Their Distinguishing Hallmarks Of Style - How They Wear Clothes, Use Words, Where They Go And Gather And Gossip. ...whatever The Circumstances The Genius Has Put You Into, The Fact Of Individuality Defends The Soul Against All Class-action Claims. No Soul Is Mediocre, Whatever Your Personal Taste For Conventionality, Whatever Your Personal Record Of Middling Achievements.
