Each of us, as we journey through life, has the opportunity to find and to give his or her unique gift. Whether this gift is quiet or small in the eyes of the world does not matter at all – not at all; it is through the finding and the giving that we may come to know the joy that lies at the center of both the dark times and the light.
Quote by Helen M. Luke
Helen M. Luke (1904-1995) was born in England. In midlife, she studied at the Jung Institute in Zurich, then moved to the U.S. and established an analytical practice with Robert Johnson in Los Angeles. In 1962, she founded the Apple Farm Community (a Jungian Retreat Center) in Three Rivers, Michigan, “a center for people seeking to discover and appropriate the transforming power of symbols in their lives.”
REFLECTION:
- Have you found your unique gift?
- How have you given away … shared your gift with another/others?
- What joy have you come to know through your unique gift?
