Listening for what needs to be done includes listening for what needs us to do, and for what needs us to do it. We have a life to bring forth! We have an original nature and innate virtues/specialties we have to honor/express/exhibit/deepen/expand! We are not here just while away the hours, casting about for something to entertain us and help us pass the time. We are not here to pass the time! We are here to do the work of doing what needs to be done with our skills/interests/knacks/abilities...!!! If the time calls for taking a nap, then take a nap-- like you mean it! We have to tune into the times, know what they are asking of us, and comply with the best we can do! We have to tune into ourselves and know what is ours to do and what is ours to not do, and not waste our time on pursuits that we are not capable of managing. There are no Renaissance women and men. We all have our specialties and our incompetencies. We do best with things that fall in the center of the bell-shaped curve. Even there, there is plenty we qualify for. Find that! Do it! When/where/how it needs to be done! In each situation as it arises! And eating pizza is always in the mix!
