Piloting Faith: The thing that only YOU can do...
A Word for the Day...
Creating unique work is hard enough. Offering it to the world, knowing the ways we can be cruel to one another, is an act of bravery. It is tempting to hide, to never show others what we are capable of contributing. That way, we save ourselves from possible embarrassment and heartbreak.
The price we pay is an unactualized life. Our epitaph might read, "We sensed he came into this world with unique gifts, but he took his best work with him."
You have a contribution to make to the world that only YOU can make. The rest of us are waiting, with hope, to see what that will be.

Blessing for the Week
May you journey to the place where your creativity is born. May you dwell there with wisdom, trusting sense and shape. May you come out with dancing, delighting in the sacred creative partnership you share with God.
- Jan Richardson, Sacred Journeys: A Woman's Book of Daily Prayer
