Work-An Extension of Me?

Is the work that I do an extension of me or is it merely a means to a material end? I often examine if whatever work I am doing at the time have spiritual implications for the world. In my search to find meaning in life, I have to explore how the 8 to 10 hours of each work day fits into this analysis. I have to find meaning or  admit that I am waisting time. The cognitive dissonance must be dealt with! OK so to find meaning in work for me is to delve deep, whether I am washing dishes, serving coffee or asking for allot of money, which is what I do now, I must take the deep dive and find answers. To go deep is to take this moment out of the 8-10 hours that I will spend today to say, "why?" am I here? In being still, in writing this now, the response back is, "to serve". It sounds so cliche but it's the answer to me. What other answer could there be, other than to make money to buy "stuff". Well I have to buy some stuff or other people won't have their 8-10 hours of work to do. I feel myself beginning to ramble now, which means that I should continue to write, except, I need to get back to serving, connecting, working. Have a good day.

Peace, Over and Out
