We are made to share what we have.
I was a philosophy major back in the day.
Wow.
Really back in the day. I graduated from St Kate's more than 20 years ago.
Remember, though. Philosophers are, by definition, lovers of wisdom. We don't stop learning because we achieved the degree. Not even close!
I digress.
So.
I am a lover of wisdom, of learning, of the classics, of the story behind everything that led us to here and now. It's part of why I have always been Catholic; I love the tradition and history of the Church and love that it is what Jesus left us.
No matter what I do, I always start in prayer. And the prayer is this: "Lead me, guide me, bless me. And may I gladly accept whatever you have in store for me this moment..." Those words may be followed by something more, but I always start there.
Then I read the readings or story or notes or the definitions or instructions I have about the upcoming event.
Then I wait.
When it's time to start the required work - whether it's choosing music or creating a "show" or planning training or thinking about what I will say about a topic - I hear or feel things. The flow is insane and with this process, I never, ever have writer's block or feel panic about whatever event is coming. Never.
I think He has my back, despite what I have heard.
I think He ALWAYS has my back. Why be afraid or worry?
And, you know? I believe the Holy Spirit inhabits all of us, the space around us, and is in and around those we meet. I am always aware of the presence of a sizzling sort of buzzing energy when I'm in the presence of someone especially in tune with the Holy Spirit. I don't have footnotes or credit to offer for that statement. It's just something I observe. It's an amazing thing.
We ARE called to share what we have. Want some back-up? Some footnotes? I don't need them, but am happy to post them.
All I have to say is.... Blessed, blessed are we.
