One of my big personal discoveries in the past twenty years was starting to discover a sense of purpose.  This discovery began with a men’s weekend–the New Warrior Training Adventure, part of the Mankind Project.  This sense of purpose has worked for me like a compass providing a general, overarching sense of direction when I am at home with my family, at work or involved with my community.    I want to emphasize that this is not necessarily a once-and-for-all discovery–at least it hasn’t worked that way for me.   Some may be suddenly struck blind or experience a sudden conversion to a religion or political vision.  For me it’s been more of an ongoing internal dialogue:  what’s important for me from this place, and how to I get there.

This is a “home page,” and I like to think of a sense of purpose as a little like the sense of direction of home for a homing pigeon, no matter where he/she is.

This blog will be my soapbox on this issue, an opportunity for me to share my own reflections on mission and purpose.  I hope you contribute to the discussion.
