Saint Francis was what some call a "prime attractor" - one who moves history and humanity forward just by being who he is.
I think that most people would find this state of being almost impossible to comprehend but now that I've moved way over from "doing" to "being," I get it!
- I get it when I'm interacting with my kids.
- I get it when I'm having lunch with my friends who are struggling with their careers.
- I get it when I'm struggling with this crazy new illness that has visited me out of the blue.
- I get it when I'm renegotiating my bundle with the cable company.
- I get it when I try to carefully respond to our current political situation, locally, nationally and internationally.
I used to think that the best eulogy for me would be to be compared to "The Good Wife." I mean the one in Proverbs (not Juliana Margulies) who takes care of everybody and everything thing and in her spare time dabbles in real estate. Now I'd rather be remembered a Prime Attractor.
...one who moves history and humanity forward just by being who I am.
