FINDING OUR WAY

We want to think that somehow our way in life will eventually become plain to see and easy to follow. But most of us tend to follow a very zig-zaggy way indeed. It sometimes seems to us that, as the old saying goes, for every step forward, we take two steps backwards. But finding our way in this life is not the same as winning a game or even achieving some great or significant goal— as noteworthy as these purposes may be. Finding our way is coming into our own in this life— whatever that may mean for us. It's discovering our own uniqueness, our originality, the song that we are here to sing, and the song that only we can sing and only in the way in which we can sing it. Whatever it takes to bring us home to ourselves in this life is our way. And we find that way by going in whatever direction our heart is prompting us to now.
