WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING (poem by Chris Corrigan)

Chris Corrigan wrote "A poem for you all", in response to this thread in the OSLIST!:

When you know what you are doing
When your gifts match the purpose
when the call is strong
and the questions are electric

when the people need it
when purpose swirls amongst us
the invisible leader,
the blurry shepherd,
nipping at our heels
and tilting the floor...

when the time is right
and the world is facing you full on

when the complexity is overwhelming
and the elusive answers die in the field of despair

when you stare at an empty circle
and every face begs for certainty
and your knees shake with the trembling
that comes with the deepest not knowing.

then,
and only then.

it will work.

Chris
