And it is not "waiting for that day". As you point out, David, it is work. It is building. It is writing. Digging to uncover. We will know it when we get there.

I agree with you David and I like the added component to the Mark Twain quote. One of my favorites from an authentic American author with a fictional name ;) measuring actually of the depth of so-called safe water. Serving as a young pilot on a steam boat Samuel Clemens came up with the pen name > from "mark twain", the leadsman's cry for a measured river depth of two fathoms (12 feet), which was safe water for a steamboat. "Safe Water Mark"...um. How do we plot our "Safe Waters"? And...Who is the Who of the Why, What and Who of the circles. Is it simply us or is there another with us in the WHO? I will defer to the Rock Group the WHO. Interesting song and story> Who Are You, the last album released by the group before Keith Moon's death in September 1978. It was written by Pete Townshend when he literally hit rock bottom. He had it all and like most...had nothing worth it left. Lesson may be> if we only depend on our selves we are never totally free and the Essence (Who) defined as> The intrinsic or indispensable quality or qualities that serve to characterize or identify something. Well is never wholly complete without Divine interaction allowed by us! Pax, Lux et Amor! Veritas IHS Enjoy this Week leading up to the Easter Sunday and Season of true Joy and that purpose we are all looking for :)

Dare I say you went 'deep' on the water analogy. 😉 Love the exploration Joe. Thank you!

12 deep like the analogy and as the 12 Apostles...11 gave it all and 1 threw it all away and there were more. We are curious beings and in the end all roads crooked and straight lead Home. The question of what we envision as home with purpose and fulfillment is Heaven to some and another to others. Peace my friend and thanks for allowing the exploration....Sprito Santo does the rest!

So grateful for you, David, and how you're helping lead us all to uncover and live the lives we were meant to live. And yes, absolutely, to journaling. There's magic in writing. And it's available to all of us!
