Thursday Aug. 11, 2005 - Year 3, Day 144 - hunger & patience
how do we recognize the real thing when it shows up ? I hunger for that
whether the ‘great job’, the great lead, the great bargain, the great opportunity, the great lover . . .I don’t mean just ordinary superlatives here; but when greatness comes knockin’ are you listening, paying attention & recognizing it for what it could be ?
I often wonder about that . . . it could be an email from a stranger, a call from someone saying ‘check this out’ or a connection with someone who smiles a lot . . . it could be my next great best opportunity every, it could be my great opportunity to know joyousness . . .
will I just know ? or do I need to be hit on the head with it! I hunger to know the answer
will it be a Canmore, Calgary . . or far off land connection; will my joy be found at home or traveling, will my pleasure come from proactive pursuit . . or from that old alliance with patience
oh how I value patience; I admire those who have enough of it
maybe one day I will . .
yesterday capped with a Toastmasters meeting, our first in a new place . . . with a new ‘apres-Toastmasters’ venue too; group dynamics, new people, democracy in action & great speeches too
I’m ravenous
breakfast downtown with JJ . . gotta run
