"I am a servant to those who consider their work in the world a spiritual adventure"The Ultimate Joy Ridetag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a011570e7d011970c01310f9600d3970c2010-03-14T00:35:00-08:002010-03-14T00:35:00-08:00Steve RobertsThe universe is so damned accommodating. It gives us what we ask for.When I finally did more than bang my gums about my life’s purpose and actually committed myself to living it, I awoke duct-taped to a shooting star. It’s not like I’m tracking to be Bruce Springsteen. All I committed to was growing my capacity to love. Next thing I know I’m forever face-to-face with fear, pain, anger, rage, unforgiveness, judgment, beliefs, addictions and all the whatnot I need to make friends with in order to fulfill this commitment. Don’t be surprised to find me still working on this...<div class="feedflare">

I don’t know, my friend. I am all the languages I ever spoke, I am all the places I ever lived, I am all the people I ever met, I am all the women I ever loved, I am all the writers I ever read; I am all my ancestors – but at least they had the decency of never thinking of themselves as writers.

We’re addicts of one persuasion or another. More to the point, each of us is on a path of recovery: waking to the beauty of being an ordinary schmoe––doing our best not to bullshit ourselves. The schmoe writing these words has been at it twenty-one years, and still I haven’t stumbled upon a more rewarding way to spend my time. Just about anybody can join in. Sex, booze, pot, coke, crack, smack, meth, nicotine and sugar may be some of the more recognizable forms...<div class="feedflare">

Take love, for instance. Big Love is among the rarest of human emotions because it is so pure and life-affirming. Small Love is among the most common of human emotions because it is so messy and destructive. Yet, it is only through Small Love, what you might call our humanness, that we come to treasure and embrace Big Love, our divinity, our true self. How would we know Big Love if we experienced it? Here’s a quick dozen cues: lightness, unity, expansion, joy, gratitude, openness, freedom, relief, strength, softness, fire and peace. Any...<div class="feedflare">
