Feeding the Soul: Poetic Ingredients for Life: Serve Your Calling, Taste Your Instinct

Calling- an inner urging toward some profession or an activity; vocation. a. a call, summons, or impulsion to perform a certain function or enter a certain career, etc. b. the function or career toward which one believes himself to be called.

Not to be defined or denied by others, only to be answered by the one called. The reason or purpose of our life, our individual existence has been pondered by man since the beginning of time, thus also the reason or understanding of ones calling.

Some of us know what our calling to be by nature of instinct, and if fortunate enough, are given the support and opportunity to grasp it. Civilizations have been created, conquered and destroyed by virtue of ones calling. Ancient and primal as man himself, untouchable, unquestionable, undeniable and unforgivable if left unanswered, a spiritual tragedy. Food for the soul, pure organic sustenance for a life of contentment.

We each are born with a calling, a pre-determined purpose or destiny so to speak, for some it is unmistakable and obvious, intuition and instinct are sharp and in tuned. Others must search to understand where or how to achieve it. You may have an impulsive, mysterious hunger or yearning for a road not yet found, but instinctively felt with such passion. This road must be taken individually, honestly, courageously and with full faith of self, without regret or doubt. Certain ingredients must be gathered and incorporated into our hearts and minds before we may understand and obtain the true essence of our purpose of calling. These ingredients are already within us and can only be harvested through the struggles of spiritual growth, hence, feeding the soul. With all ingredients in proper measure, Authenticity, Struggle, Love, Instinct and Intuition, the fruits of our dreams will be enjoyed.
