Whatever thee Task at Hand

Whatever the task at hand: 

so my only real work here is forgiveness, everything else is simply the means to deliver me to the exact location I'm supposed to be, with just the right people, arriving at the perfect time. I'm reminded of a story that I once heard of the writer and Catholic priest Henri Nouwen who often found himself disturbed from his writing by the constant noise of students on the campus where he was living and teaching. Complaining and losing focus until he came to the realized that his actual work wasn't being interrupted at all - the interruptions were his true work, they were meant to draw him within to gently expose and deal with the issues of his mind that kept him from receiving continuous inspiration. Nouwen experienced a miracle, a shift in perception that caused him to view the situation with new vision. This is the miracle we're all tasked to perform, our true work, and the underlying reason we're here at all. 

and so for me,

I find myself ready and with sleeves metaphorically rolled up, finally ready to work with every seeming distraction and interruption, forgiving and forgiving, continuously so - 

 being joyful in the task at hand.

I love you, Eric
