Finding things to do
that we enjoy doing
is a high priority item
in each stage of life.

Reading, writing and photography
have comforted/focused me
through several stages
over 60 years,
and they remain 
my grounding/centering activities

I coalesce around them,
express myself through them,
take refuge in them,
and find in them my deep joy
and eternal habitation.

They are where I belong
and where I enjoy most being.

I hope something like them for you.
But, the things we belong to
are like the wand 
that chooses the wizard.

We don't think them up
so much as realize what they are.
We don't intend them,
or wish them into being,
there they are,
in a "Why certainly, of course,"
kind of way.

Words of Carl Jung come to mind here:
"We are who we have always been,
and who we will be."

And our "things" are our things
for always.

Good luck with realizing yours!
