Upgrade to paid to play voiceoverThe question is, of course, what do you feel to be your task? Where the fear, there is your task!Carl Jung There is a phrase I find myself saying a lot recently: “I have a strange vocation”.

“It’s not a usual thing to do, you know, to invite total strangers into your home,” the woman says as she steps across the threshold.

“We can only know the things we tame,” said the fox. “Men no longer have time to get to know anything. They buy things readymade from the shops. But since there aren’t any shops that sell friends, men no longer have friends.”-The Little Prince1The autumn I turned two, our family moved to Germany.

The single most abundant element in the Earth’s crust is oxygen making up 46.6 percent of the mass. The second most abundant element is silicon making up 27.7 percent, mostly in the form of various molecules combining silicon and oxygen. Silicon dioxide is the kind people are familiar with and it is found on most, but not all beaches of the world. It just doesn’t seem reasonable to be concerned that we will somehow run out of sand.

"Each of us is an artist of our days; the greater our awareness, the more original and creative our time will become."John O'DonohueThere is an art to living in these times. And there is a question: as the artists of our days, what will we create? What could we create if we come together in active hope and love?
