Most of us feel an agonizing longing to contribute something meaningful to the deficits of our time. But weeks, months and even years can disappear in just keeping up on the treadmill of life's demands. We are in a constant state of being responsive to the world's requirements of us. Whether it's our everyday to-do list, which never seems to shrink, or how we wait to be notified of opportunities and invitations, this 'call and response' relationship with the external world is such a deeply ingrained habit that we barely know another way to live. But the truth is, if we really want to make an eloquent offering of our lives, we have to step out of that dependency on the external world and locate our source of guidance within.
