Greetings,
I was reflecting on the ever present question of the worth and meaning of our work. It stands to reason that if we are spending the most productive part of our day, putting forth our best physical and mental efforts, a lot more than a nice paycheck should be forthcoming. I would be simplistic and suggest that whatever our vocation it should be nourishing to us and our communities. Is this your situation? This has been the quest of my work life so far and indeed in the relationships I have built, I have found that nourishment. So take a look around in your work station and appreciate the nourishment coming your way. If it is not....................question for you to answer.
In this stream of consciousness I reflected on the work of one dear sister and comrade and tried to wrap a few words of appreciation for the love, labor and wisdom that she is offering to the youth in summer camp.
If you have created a space for young minds to journey
Then you are fulfilled
If you have helped guide the youth to a place of safety and enlightenment
Then the honor is yours
If you have inspired the creativity in latent souls
Then you are the lightening rod
If you have helped soothe a bruised heart
Then you are the healer
If you have helped the young grow beyond their own selves
You are our sacred guide
If you have brought strangers together as friends and comrades
Then you are indeed mother goddess
Birthing
A better world for us all
Medase
