RELATIONSHIP as VOCATION

People pursue many careers, many passions - many do so
without any specific plan while others pursue them
with a concerted effort. Diligence. Strategy. Goals.
What if we sought Relationships with such dedication?

Imagine creating a résumé for a Relationship position, listing
all of the skills and experiences that might qualify you for
the position you hope to secure? Attributes. Experience.
Training. References. Contact information.

Imagine applying for a Relationship for the purpose of learning
what duties would be expected, and how it would be rewarded.
Imagine the interview process - what would you say?
How would you offer yourself to another?

Imagine having a Relationship based on this understanding,
one with clear expectations and requirements, one which
would continue as long as the criteria was met, or be
terminated if one's performance was unsatisfactory?

We seek meaning in our lives. We seek expression.
We seek gainful employment and a place to live.
We seek nourishment and enjoyable experiences.
What if Relationships embodied what we seek?
