Becoming (ARRGHH!!)

I was doing a little light reading this morning. The author of the piece in the monthly religious journal was going on about leadership. I've read the stuff before. So have you. What struck me was that, at age 40, I'm still looking for something to shed light on the great mystery. Like the quasi-inebriate, Captain Jack Sparrow, I'm always setting sail in search of the treasure or the map, or both. Now, this so happens to coincide with more information found in the religious journal. According to the author (quoting another author), it's not the finding, leading, or the conquering of the other vessels flying the Union Jack. Rather, it's the question(s) we ask ourselves after such forays into the forbidden forests, backyards, and enchanted isles. What did I learn from that experience? What's different about me? Can I see more clearly, now? I added the pirate stuff, because pirates liven up any conversation. Invite one to dinner this month. ARRGHH!!
