Music and Television when put in the right mix can bring forth emotions that are hard to come out otherwise. A TV show I was watching tonight did that to me and I needed it. Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist has dealt with the impending death of the lead character’s father.

The season finale Zoey’s dad passed away and it brought back a lot of memories and feelings to when my own dad passed away in August 2019. The same struggle at the end and all the things that went along with his final days were portrayed very poignantly here.

I hadn’t cried a lot since then and it was a little healing and cathartic when I wept tonight. Grief is a weird thing and it can be on you at any time. I am glad to have been able to have a little release. I didn’t know it was needed. There will be more times when that will happen again.

During my priests homily this morning he talked about calling primarily and from that a secondary rift on abundance. Every person has some sort of calling and from a religious sense its about opportunities that God has given to humanity. I think a calling is an opportunity to do great things. You have an abundance of people and places and cool things that come into your life because of it.

The crazy part of it all is when you answer the call lots of stuff happens that makes it possible for your to fulfill your new duties in life.

This thing about abundance has been kind of loaded in the sense that it seems to be used by some to grace people with wealth and riches. My mindset comes from a place of fairness and justice where there are so many people who are living without. Maybe abundance can be measured in different ways where its about all the cool things you get to do in life.

So as I contemplate the notions of calling and abundance perhaps I can find out more and see how it can change my view and life. Let’s see how it goes. Here is to all of us seeking to do what we are called to do in abundance.
