Musings

To have a sense of purpose to me is the best feeling, especially when tied to particular gifted-ness God has given me for the particular work He has for me to do.  I agree that it is tied to everything we do.  Its a strong motivator when you feel in line with your purpose and and big de-motivator when you feel out of line with it.  Its energizing particularly when you see things fall into place that tell you you are just meant to be there at that moment doing that thing and that it serves someone else's need and your own at the same time.  It helps prioritize what is important FOR your purpose and gives direction of a degree.

 

I have felt the worthlessness in the terms that you refer to.  Look at all the extremely gifted musicians, poets, lyricists, craftsmen, business operators, managers, vocalists, writers, mathematicians, technology wizzes, multi-linguists, interpreters, architects, and variety of personalities and appearances, the uniqueness of every person then (of course from my Christian Perspective), the stars, the sky, the moon, sun, forest, time, temperature, separation of oceans from land, the power of the waves, the depth yet undiscovered, the galaxies unchartered, untouched, the process of a child coming with all the genetic material prepackaged and the Mind behind it all--that All-Creative Architect of this massive universe.  Absolutely, I feel like a speck of dust.

 

I've not yet explored the album you cite above, nor feel as though I entirely grasp what's going on in your mind, but the stimulation of mind that your blog article theme induces certainly brings me to that wonderful place of awe and simple acceptance of my dust particle contribution and puts much in perspective.  Its an incredible sensation to take it all in.
