Oh the newly forged paths we are here to cultivate for our unique expression of Wholeness. How many times I have seen the looks on folks faces when they learn that I have never had a "normal" job, that I do not care to conform to social norms, that my bank account is not my top priority, that nature is my teacher... Phrases like "You aren't living up to your potential" make me cringe. And still, I would not trade my world for anybody else's because it fits me perfectly. I continue to learn with the invitation to follow my desires, steward my gifts with integrity, and create a landscape of living that truly nurtures the Whole of my ecology. Beautiful wisdom weaving with your reflections on the experience of your walk!
Wow! This resonated so much. It is surely a counter cultural path, but once you start moving in that direction there is no turning back. Living with integrity is too precious to trade for conformity.
