Here’s to walking the sacred ground

“Here’s to walking my own path.
Here’s to claiming my birthright,
my sovereign power.
Here’s to walking the sacred ground.
Here, to break down any walls between the self and the higher calling.
May every prayer be a celebration.”

― Petra Poje – Keeper of The Eye

If love calls you, answer

“Use your time wisely, so that when you look back towards the end of your days you will smile at a life well-lived. Let not your song remain unsung. Do not hold back from sharing your love with the world for fear of lack or thought of a rainy day. If Love calls you, answer.”

― Peter M Parr

Our deepest calling

“Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic self-hood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be. As we do so, we will not only find the joy that every human being seeks–we will also find our path of authentic service in the world. . . .”

Parker Palmer on “Becoming the Person You Called to Become (Not What the World Wants of You)”

A Gift to be Received

*Image Copyright 2017 by R.A. Robbins to*

“Today I understand vocation quite differently-
not as a goal to be achieved but as a gift to be received. Discovering vocation does not mean scrambling toward some prize just beyond my reach but accepting the treasure of true self I already possess. Vocation does not come from a voice “out there” calling me to become something I am not. It comes from a voice “in here” calling me to be the person I was born to be, to fulfill the original selfhood given me at birth by God,”

― Parker J. Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation

You can make a difference

“You can make a difference.

You have special skills for a specific mission.

Go forth and fulfill your sacred calling on earth.”

― Lailah Gifty Akita

A Calling Will Become Clearer

“A calling will become clearer when you take the first step. You may not know where it will take you, but to start a journey, all you need to do is to find the right path.”

― R.E.Johnson, The Gift of Evïr

Some things must be pursued

“Some things must be pursued, or they may in fact pursue us.”

― Craig D. Lounsbrough, The Eighth Page: A Christmas Journey

Beware of this about callings

“But beware of this about callings: they may not lead us where we intended to go or even where we want to go. If we choose to follow, we may have to be willing to let go of the life we already planned and accept whatever is waiting for us. And if the calling is true, though we may not have gone where we intended, we will surely end up where we need to be.”

― Steve Goodier

To speak a better story

“We live in a world where bad stories are told, stories that teach us life doesn’t mean anything and that humanity has no great purpose. It’s a good calling, then, to speak a better story. How brightly a better story shines. How easily the world looks to it in wonder. How grateful we are to hear these stories, and how happy it makes us repeat them.”

― Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While

A calling for all of us

“I believe there’s a calling for all of us. I know that every human being has value and purpose. The real work of our lives is to become aware. And awakened. To answer the call.”― Oprah Winfrey
