At this critical time on earth we are called to undertake an expansion of identity and growth of soul in order to avoid being overwhelmed by the radical changes surging through both nature and culture.

The issue is not a lack of calling, for the human heart carries an indelible expectation of being called to an awakening that includes imagination and true revelation. The problem is hearing the call and heeding it amidst all the distractions and uncertainties of modern life.

Because what calls us is timeless, the call can come at any time. Because it is essential to our soul, our calling keeps calling no matter our age or position or condition in life. In answering the call we awaken to the story trying to unfold from within us and feel the feathers of the heart in full flight.

In times of change, as in periods of personal crisis, there can be an acceleration of calling that opens the pathways of genius and imagination that can satisfy our souls, but also be our best way of serving the world.
