Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic selfhood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be. As we do so, we will not only find the joy that every human being seeks—we will also find our path of authentic service in the world. True vocation joins self and service, as Frederick Buechner asserts when he defines vocation as “the place where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep need.”What a great and timely message from Parker Palmer via Richard Rohr this week!
One woman's late-in-life recovery journey featuring prayer, mysticism, skepticism, and more. Not necessarily in that order.
