“Work”

 

H,

 

 

We face Mondays with a certain trepidation. It reminds us that most of our life is made up of work. Only very few people on earth get to do what they love or like, what they call their “passion” or “calling” as their vocation. Most do not earn enough to make the things they love into a career. The world calls anything that you do not make money from a “hobby”.

 

I do not mean to go on another anti-capitalist rant. Work can be good and challenging and fruitful for all. I have grown through work and found muscles I did not know I had by lifting weights I did not want to. We do not know enough about our own souls to limit ourselves to do only the things we love; in work or in anything else. The discipline will help us, always.

 

The more pertinent point is to seek wholeness. To make everything you do part of the joy you seek. To learn all the disciplines you need to do your work well and in joy is the aim of all who live in the light. We must drop the complaints. The hand to the plough is always sacred. To be in the creative process of making something or delivering a service can be a powerful thing. We must adjust our minds and heart. We live in holiness now. Everything should fall into that.
