Today I asked a friend of mine "What's your life about?". When I think about that question, it's a chance for me to think about the various hats I wear as I go about categorizing my life into parts - there's the "daddy" hat when I'm home with the kids, "hubby" hat when I'm with my wife, "teacher" hat when I'm working with students, etc. I'm never satisfied with all this compartmentalization of life, but it seems inevitable. His deep, mature, yet simple reply was exactly what I need to hear - "love", he said. That everything we do, however we go about it, we do it in a spirit of love - to live a life of love. brilliant. why didn't I think of that?
So I went back to my hats, and each one fits very nicely when love is what grounds the task or relationship that the hat represents.
