At times it seems many of us in awareness work(becoming more into humanness) are up at bat and the world is yelling-swing damn it, do something! Everyone else is swinging!
We aren’t frozen at home plate not knowing how to swing, we may be holding place till the pitcher gets tired, maybe we don’t want this particular game to continue. Maybe we will sit down at home plate, and review if we are in the right game for us. Maybe we will walk off the field. The yelling being directed at us as we walk off won’t matter if our call is to walk off.
The only way we can mess up in this inner work(which will come to match our outer work:work=purpose), is to listen to the crowd who thinks we should be another, or to open another’s mail thinking it was addressed to us.
My work is to open my own mail, not being surprised someone as imperfect as myself is called to bat, and all is just fine-all is Perfect!
Swing.
Peace
P.s.
I would use someone to flesh these metaphors out like-“Peace Pilgrim”. She read her own mail. Research her to put a smile on your face.
