The Real Work

{ Yes, I say, yes, I say, yes!}

"The real work of this life is not
what we do every day from nine to five.
The real work is to disidentify from self-images

that were formed a lifetime ago,
and from which we still construct our daily lives.

The real work is to allow ourselves
to be who we already are,
and to have what we already have.
The real work is to be passionate,
be holy, be wild, be irreverent,
to laugh and cry until you
awaken the sleeping spirits,
until the ground of your being cleaves
and the universe comes flooding in."

I found this quote today over at Lisa's land of renegade.

  The timing, for me, could not have been more perfect.
