another quote from utne, as the current issue's theme is finding and following your 'calling'. as i prepare to leave this portion of my life, the one that was so new and scary and exciting which then became the familiar and fun, i find this appropriate. picking up myself and moving to the other side of the country to take a job that came to me and just 'felt right' was one of the best decisions i've made.

"i'm deep in 'don't know,' but strangely calm, more curious and interested than anxious about what's next. i'm listening as deeply as i can, paying attention to the sychonicities, to song fragments and random comments that move me, to my memories and dreams, and i'm reflecting on the needs i see around me, via news items in the media and through direct requests of my family and friends, and complete strangers. and, like parzival, i'm learning to ask 'what ails thee? how can i help?' i really don't know what's next, but i feel confident whatever it is, it will be a calling." - eric utne
