Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

B: XIIII: Last Thoughts Ordered
Regular glimpses of truth
Provided by vocation
Kept regret at bay.
I neglected funeral arrangements.
No no-man's-land exists
In my line of work,
Sudden death's a hazard.
I have one last poem to glimpse.
I am being taken
At approximately the same age
At which pleasure-seekers
Should be taken
If long regret
And its vocation of tomb arrangement,
Instead of changed vocation,
Is not to set in.
Pity not overly:
That age is not as early
As it used to be.
One day they all too
May keep regret at bay,
Taken...suddenly...late.
Entombed conservatively.

I did a little theatre work after that and the following year I got another part in a television series. Then it was almost to the end of the year before I got more work. That was coming to terms with the reality of the vocation I had chosen.

Hmmm Working For The Money?
i like it this way
the way
i want things
come and go
and
i do not really
work for the
money but
for a certain
calling
a mission
a vocation
an apostolate
a profession
and it goes
this way, God provides
and the money now
is working for me.

I doubt that the Lord cares much which honorable vocation you choose. But He does care if you love one another and serve one another.

Sonata For You
You need to have companionship
You need to have a vocation
You have to frame yourself
You have to take the world with you
You need to set boudaries
You live in that fish bowl and you need to come out
I am the plant inside that fish tank
You need to spend time with people
And get to know people

A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls.
It is not more vacation we need - it is more vocation.

You must realize that honorary degrees are given generally to people whose SAT scores were too low to get them into schools the regular way. As a matter of fact, it was my SAT scores that led me into my present vocation in life, comedy.
