Thank you for writing so honestly, Heidi, I can relate to much of what you are experiencing. When you wrote, "The fact that people who want to help other people (or the planet) are spending all day updating their resumes and applying for jobs so they can afford to live, in a world that is full to the brim of people who need the help they are trying to give, is the sign of a system that is not set up in a life-giving way", I was cheering along. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by how 'wrong' our world is. There is SO much need out there and many people who want to make things better are ending up burnt out by the system they are forced to function in.
But, as I sit here with my door open to the fresh morning air, I can hear the warble of the Australian magpie welcoming in a new day. Soon the lorikeet parrots, and the family of kookaburras will arrive, and I will know that all is well. I wish you all the very best in your job search, Heidi x
