My Chosen Vocation

I saw this quote today on a blog that I frequent, and can't say it better. This one is dedicated to the friends and family who think I'm crazy:

"Vocation at its deepest level is not, 'Oh, boy, do I want to go to this strange place where I have to learn a new way to live and where no one, including me, understands what I'm doing.'

Vocation at its deepest level is, 'This is something I can't not do, for reasons I'm unable to explain to anyone else and don't fully understand myself but that are nonetheless compelling.'"

--Parker Palmer


**side note: while this quote may not prove that I'm 'not crazy'...it does prove something: I'm not the only one.
