I heard Maya Angelou interviewed this morning on NPR, which was fantastic. My husband took the kids to church so I could grade some papers and her interview was an unexpected spiritual moment.
She talked about finding what you love and being willing to sacrifice for it. What do you love? What are you willing to do anything for? Where do you spend your money, time and daydreams? This is what you love.
She also explained that she lives life as a Christian because it asks life to be lived. To love and find joy and work hard - it reminded me of the Benedictine principals that have found renewed popularity in the past few years. Work and play. And, be grateful.
Now, I’m distracted and can’t focus on grading papers! I wish I were with my family at church…
