A reevaluation

Where to put one's energies these days? It seems to me I am in need of a reevaluation of my talents; where I am placing them, and what I am to do with them in order to be, become, and serve as the being God has created me as.
[Although we are reminded of the wise saying: "Prepositions are never words to end sentences with."]
I really like that one.

To be sure there are times when most grow into a feeling of "un" fulfillment, as if one's limit or true North is not before them but in a direction they do not know and feel lost in the finding.

I see many directions and the sheer potential present in the world in which we live is staggering, so much so it truly sets one on his or her heels. Time to move from the heels to the balls of my feet, make some progress in a true direction, trust the guidance and support I am given and take to the chase.

Sure is a lot of talk going on here, I'll have to see about backing it up. Yeah, sounds like something I am,will,going to do.

Apologies if the meta-play of being/am/will et. al. seems a bit heavy handy. I have just been in a 'being' 'doing' mindset, and a sincere Lack of hat tip to Chopra, if that was where anyone was thinking toward. Well meaning, but in all honesty, I have absolutely no presence of mind concerning his work.

I have a Heidegger, Santayana, following Hegel feeling about picking through all of this, a C.S. Lewis hope for my humanity's revelation through God, an Aldous Huxley distrust in my surroundings to provide my answer, and a feeling as though I am stuck atop Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain. There seems to be no time, yet some"where" time is proceeding and must be accounted for, yet how to deal with all these thoughts I have up here.

Ah yes, the horizontal life, as he would call it in those High German Mountains. The air just seems so crisp and clean, good for thinking, now how to act, where to proceed.

How shall it seeks its ending.
