What am I supposed to be doing?
Tuesday 19 October 2010
All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there. Who says words with my mouth? Rumi
Gripped by questions
After 30 or 40 years, at the onset of midlife, reassessment may usher in a different set of questions and an invitation to loosen our grip upon the questions that have driven us thus far. The shift or leaning towards a more interior life beckons and if heeded is followed. Uncertainty, a sense of meaninglessness and emptiness break up our ground and now heralds and reawakens raw and awkward searching questions such as ... What am I supposed to be doing? Where did I come from? Who hears my voice? What is the soul?
