Nudge, nudge - who's there?
In my journey over the past few years I have been resisting any inclination to say I have been "called" toward a certain path. I believe there is too much baggage with that terminology...at least, for me. Instead, I have felt "nudged." There was a clear nudge that led me to start at MSR, and another that brought me to Table of Grace. I figure these nudges will come as a threesome, so I am looking forward (with some trepidation!) to the third. I am not interested in rushing it nor trying to lift every rock looking for it. When it happens it will be as clear as the other two. Until then, it is just my job to keep my heart and mind open and continue on the path the other two nudges placed me on. It will be interesting to see where it all leads.
Stay tuned.

i know the feeling--and i think 'nudged' is a great word for it. you're right--'called' makes it sound like you're some special saint. but yet the feeling is there, at different times and places, this is what i'm meant to be doing. and even that can be dicey--some of th things i'm 'meant' to do are awfully trivial for the gods or fates or whatever to bother with. but when i follow that feeling, it often works out well. like blogging, like writing in general. like tarot reading, especially at the castle, when the kids are sometimes very stressed and vulnerable. anyhow, i'm glad you've been 'nudged' back here!
I sometimes wonder if our sense of "call" or "nudging" is simply our psyche back-filling meaning and story into the events of our lives. Then I figure it doesn't matter - we are creatures who need meaning and story in our lives, so I accept mine and go on with it.
