Man, this whole health and lack-of-health has magnified my usual sense of "what am i doing???"
I yearn, I crave, I search for a greater sense of purpose. Isn't that familiar to almost everyone? Is it human to want to know why you're here and what you're supposed to be doing?
I'm always drawn to people who project this quality, this ability to articulate and pursue purpose with great passion. Maybe it'll rub off! Maybe I'll learn by example.
I do learn, to some extent. Most people who pursue their passions are driven by an ongoing sense of yearning -- they're not content with just success today, but want to know the what and why of it all tomorrow and far into the future.
What do I want? What is my true path?
The Koran opens with a call to God, Lord of all Worlds, asking that God Show us the straight way.
The Lord's Prayer asks that God lead us not into temptation.
And so I appeal: Let my eyes and my heart be open, let me follow my path, Your path, love others and become more fully my truest self. Let me be who I truly want to be!
