		<description>Thank you for sharing this passage with us Dan. I have been reading it and re-reading it over and over again, feeling her words sit with me. Quite the gift.</description>

		<description>I am reminded of a few paragraphs in Carol S. Pearson&#039;s wonderful book, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Awakening-Heroes-Within-Archetypes-Ourselves/dp/0062506781/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1278543815&amp;sr=1-1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Awakening the Heroes Within&lt;/a&gt;.  She writes:
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Each of us has a piece of the puzzle of solving the great world problems of our time and creating a more just, humane, and beautiful world.  We know what our part is by what feels not just familiar, but deeply true and right when we do it.  We know it by what we love and what makes us feel fulfilled.  We know it by what we cling to when everything around us and sometimes in us is falling apart.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;If everyone who loved to create beauty did so, we would live in a beautiful world. If everyone who loved cleanliness and order, cleaned up, we would live in a clean and orderly world.  If everyone who yearned to heal the sick did so, we would live in a healthier world.  If everyone who cared about world hunger shared his or her creative ideas and acted to alleviate the problem, people would all be fed.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;em&gt;&quot;If we could learn that the wisdom of the Self coded within each of us is never wrong, that what we yearn to do is what we are to do, we would co-create a better world.  But that does not mean that your conscious mind knows the answer. Certainly few of us are given a map. To the degree that we trust our own process on a moment-to-moment basis, doing what seems right and authentic, we will grow into what we are meant to be.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Perceptive Louise, for this posting did arise from thoughts about that inevitable &quot;cocktail party question&quot; and as you say, it flowed toward much more!

Where jobs are still far and few between for many, work is always within, waiting to be expressed and released! The bright side of these economic times is that our work can now come out to play :-)</description>

		<description>Rosa,
What a beautiful post - in every way. So clean, clear, elegant and wise. 
Sometimes the questions, in this case, What is the work that you do, are so impactful as to lead to a cascade of equally powerful questions. 
Considering that the question - what do you do - is still in the top 3 when first meeting someone - gaining a deeper understanding of what our &quot;work&quot; really is should be our internal starting point. 
I also love your description of healthier - supporting others in being all they can be. 
A rich post! 
Thx for it,
Louise</description>
