<div><font face="Arial">Thanks for this Forbes article, Steve. I observe
myself and others needing, and having the opportunity to, re-find our
"calling". This happens often as circumstances change - health,
economic resources, people dying, new friends, new ideas,
communities/institutions dying, communities/institutions showing
signs of new life, etc. . And the more I am sensitive to the nuances of my
situation, the more I realize that there are open doors in even the most
restrictive situations (The Future Is Open) - so circumstances are always
changing, at least somewhat. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">In Forbes, such a dollar oriented publication,
this author uses the word "calling" - that comes from a religious tradition -
our human concept of who God is <b><font size="4">*
</font></b> "calling" us to know-do-be something. She makes good
points - including taking the long view (what does the future require?).
But "following your dreams" doesn't quite cut it as a total substitute for using
what you have to serve the needs of the universe.</font></div>
