Why are you 'in the world'?

This is of course a very complex question! But, here are two wonderful general inputs towards discovering that purpose:

I am in the world to change the world. - Muriel Rukeyser, American poet and political activist (1913-1980).

And, here's another lovely quote from Scripture - perhaps we can all be part of God's 'new thing'?

I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. - Isaiah 43:19

Both come from the wonderful daily reflection from Sojourners called 'Verse and Voice'.

Too many people trying to change things, when often it's better to leave it the heck alone!
