Greatness

-
I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

    This makes me wonder - - -

    SHOULD our goal be to accomplish a great and noble task?

    I think rather it should simply be to obey.

    But then, I'm no theologian nor a Helen Keller either.

    It seems to me that if our goal is to achieve greatness our motivation is wrong.

    To complete a small task to the best of your ability is great and noble. Most seem to want to do as little as possible, as quickly as possible, to just get by.

    If you think you are above doing the small simple tasks, then you are anything but great and noble.

    Sounds more along the lines of desiring to make a difference in the world...to contribute. That's a worthy aspiration I think.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
