Pre-Emptive Activism Is Calling

Pre-Emptive Activism Is Calling February 28, 2013

Over the past few weeks I have been thinking a lot about commitment and how the ethic of service has driven my life. Internally I am experiencing an intense urge for transition. For decades I have engaged in responding to disasters both nationally and across the world. This service has afforded me the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of how service and divinity are linked in ways that I would have never imagined.
This urge for redefining of my role in wider society is being driven by inner stirrings that are pushing me from a response framework to one centered on pre-emptive efforts to address the issues that contribute to these disasters. Simply put,  years of witnessing and responding to devastation and human suffering have brought me to a place where I wish to engage my talents in preventing these tragedies rather than providing service after they occur.
So over the next few months it is my intent to explore employment with organizations that are fighting the good fight, attempting to make positive changes in the world that will prevent suffering. What direction this will take I am unsure of; what I know is that I want to engage, confront bigotry, violence, economic discrimination and global degradation of the environment. 
So my friends let me know if you come across an opportunity, the details matter little, what I seek is not increased income but increased meaning in my efforts.
Yours In Service.
