COMMON COLD OF THE SOUL

"To sinful patterns of behavior that never get confronted and changed,

Abilities and gifts that never get cultivated and deployed – until weeks become months

and months turn into years,

And one day you’re looking back on a life of deep intimate gut-wrenching honest

conversations you never had;

Great bold prayers you never prayed,

Exhilarating risks you never took,

Sacrificial gifts you never offered,

Lives you never touched,

And your sitting in your recliner with a shriveled soul,

And forgotten dreams,

And you realize there was a world of desperate need,

And a great God calling you to be part of something bigger then yourself-

You see the person you could have become but did not;

You never followed your calling;

You never got out of the boat" (Emphasis mine)

-Common Cold of the Soul by Gregg Levoy

How can I not fall in love with the deep insight, the poetic verses, the way it says exactly how I would have wanted my feelings to sound like?

The office memo (who wanted to be a love letter). The getting out of the boat (and not be afraid to drown). The more I read, the more I hold on to it.

On a lighter note, it is a free Saturday for me and I plan to stay in due to lack of currency and whatnot. I have an unfinished book to read, an exercise to sweat out to, maybe a little office work to finish, and some furniture rearranging/bedroom renovating (a favorite activity) to work on.

The past weekends have been spent out and about, but this time I am revolutionizing the homebody in me (and it never hurts that a coffee maker is at hand to brew my perfect French Roast).
