We Need To Work On The World

Open Your Heart, Your Gaze, To The Visitations Of Angels, Even If The Gifts They Bring May Not Be Centeredness And Balance But Eccentricity And A Wholly Unfamiliar Sense Of Pleasure Called Joy.

Our Lives Are Determined Less By Our Childhood Than By The Traumatic Way We Have Learned To Remember Our Childhoods.

It's Important To Ask Yourself, How Am I Useful To Others? What Do People Want From Me? That May Very Well Reveal What You Are Here For.

I Just Read About John Le Carre, The Great Spy Novelist. He Had An Absolutely Miserable Childhood. His Mother Deserted Him When He Was Young. His Father Was A Playboy And A Drunk. He Was Shifted Around To Many Different Homes. He Knew He Was A Writer When He Was About Nine, But He Was Dyslexic. So Here Was A Person With An Absolutely Messed-up Childhood And A Symptom That Prevented Him From Doing What He Wanted To Do Most. Yet That Very Symptom Was Part Of The Calling. It Forced Him To Go Deeper.

We Need To Work On The World So It Will Not Be So Oppressive.
