The Most Important Work

When time opens a window, when the air clears enough to see what really matters, when distractions settle and you can feel your beating heart, you have a chance to get it right. The tools you need for this challenge are imagination and action. Your imagining what might be that is the remedy for what pains you in the middle of the night, for the undone curriculum of your soul. In the still of morning, right before the dawn, you can see it if you look hard enough, are courageous enough to sustain your gaze on what you know needs to be done. The work is to hold that close and not forget as the day gathers momentum and then to take one step, and another, in the direction of that vision, to seek out others who have listened and join them in building a better world.
