Wanted: Life Mission Statement

Tonight, while perusing friends blogs and websites, I came across this statement a friend makes about her current hobbies in life:

"...excavating human hearts from the rubble of a materialistic culture..."

And, I stopped. What a statement. What a purpose.

As I'm tossing about in my new decade of life and musing about the things ahead, I'm inspired by her statement. It moves me.

Lately, I'm giving in to the creative side of my life and I'm beginning to like it. I'm beginning to discover more of what is true of me. I'm edging around a dark room with only my fingers to guide me. Small, slow steps, overwhelmingly aware of every noise - it's deafening, the sound of my breathing and my heart so evident. It feels scary, but I know it's safe.

Soon, I hope to arrive at such a well-stated version of what I am doing on this planet... In the mean time...
