Putting the Pieces Together

As I wrap up my year since leaving my engineering job, the message has consistently been “put the pieces together”. I finally realized a few months ago that I needed to start by putting the pieces together of my own soul, my path, talents, abilities, etc. and then to put together the pieces of my mission and the visions for living that mission out in the world. I can say that now I feel like I have most if not all of the pieces spread out before me and have put a few of them together.

All that remains is to keep at it, keep entering the stillness to discover what my heart yearns for, trying it out and discerning more and more keenly what my life is all about. This process of discovery is a game of wonder to me and when life gets rough and I feel like I’m just holding on trying not to get washed away, I cling to the wonder of the game and trust that in surrendering to this new storm, this new challenge in my life, I will ultimately discover a new piece of myself and that is worth all of the trial and tribulation I may go through at times.
