Life’s Work:  Letting Your Life Speak

Each Sunday from June thru August a member or friend of the Society will be sharing their beliefs as a Unitarian Universalist.  Included in this page are links to their talks from each Sunday Service.

2008 Series

“As we live we are transmitters of life and when we fail to transmit life, life fails to flow through us. . . .

And if, as we work, we can transmit life into our work, still more life rushes into us to compensate, to be ready and we ripple with life through the day. . . .”   —D. H. Lawrence

 

How do we find our true calling?  Is that the same as the work we do to earn a living?  The word “vocation” is rooted in the Latin for “voice.” 

Teacher, writer and activist Parker Palmer writes, “Before you tell your life what truths and values you have decided to live up to, let your life tell you what truths you embody, what values you represent....Vocation does not come from willfulness.  It comes from listening to and accepting ‘true self’ with its limits as well as its potentials.”

The speakers for this summer will share the stories of where they find their voices and how they receive the gifts and challenges in embodying their “Life’s Work.”
