But I consider myself pretty fortunate. I like my work. I listen to stories of defeats and victories practically every day. I never stop marveling at the journeys that people traverse in their effort to find and hold meaning in their life. Some of the journeys are horrific, some are humorous.
None are ever the same.
For many, it is extremely difficult. I am amazed at the courage that some discover hiding inside with their shattered souls. And yet, I have witnessed some of these same adults climb out of the dark well of their life and find not just meaning but a firm reason to live with meaning, with commitment, with passion. They have learned to no longer be emotionally on the ceiling and to become fully present in the room, emotionally and spiritually. To be a witness to their regeneration, their courage, is truly humbling and inspiring for me.
