Loving radical empathy.,. As I get closer to 50…. And further from the church … I have certainly stopped imagining having any sort of “mission”. Though I do aim to live as a secular humanist…. Living this life as it’s the only one we have and doing my best to live it fully while encouraging others to do the same.

I've noticed I have drifted away from mission language as well for the most part. I like to talk about calling, despite the religious connotations. I prefer to think about being pulled toward something based on our unique story, life experiences, etc.

I knew that I’d settled and begun the slow downward spiral to the slow suicide of apathy and waking despair. You and a few others came along to accelerate an awaking that had begun a little while ago. Life is meant to be an adventure that gives as much as it will ever take and others were meant to be a part of your journey and mine. We’re meant for each other. I’m glad to be on the ride up and out. Peace
