Commerce is a pervading activity; even God was a carpenter. What are we to make of our day-to-day task of
commerce? Obviously money is important,
we must pay the electric bill, but why are we daily dutifully at the plow? Can lucre create in us a worthy workman for
the workforce, desiring equally to work well as to earn our keep? I am most driven by vision, vision of better
than, better than yesterday, better than the record, better than the best so
far. But honestly that is untrue. I am most driven to have others live, live in
and with the Divine, casting a vision of what it means to live well and a path
by which to live it. I have struggled
greatly to live well; that bar always nonchalantly laid before me by my
parents. My parents seemed to attract vagrant’s,
vagabonds and ne'er-do-wells and spent their lives seeking to help them along
the paths of righteousness; a commerce that now seems to makes sense as I pull
the plow that cuts the path.
Love this, Lee! Keep pulling that plow!
