potent Purpose comes from teamwork … (08/12/11)

“Fundamentally, helping, fixing, and service are ways of seeing life.

When you help you see life as weak, when you fix, you see life as broken.

When you serve, you see life as whole.

From the perspective of service, we are all connected:

all suffering is like my suffering and all Joy is like my Joy.

The impulse to serve emerges naturally and inevitably

from this way of seeing. ~ Rachel Naomi Remen

Behind many a man of Noble Courage rests his muse;

the person who believes in him whole-heartedly;

the person who stands by him through times dark and uncertain.

We like to think that it is the muse who inspires him to do his great Work,

but in reality it is the muse who does the Doing …

In reality he is but a conduit for her Greatness.

In reality they Work as One.
