Last year for my 40th birthday, I received a birthday card from a good friend who happens to be our Ursuline Provincial right now.
This Hallmark musical card states:
You gotta sing the song that's in your heart. Anything else is just lip-synching.
The card hangs by my desk and periodically I open it and hear those words sung to me. The words come from "Make Your Own Kind of Music" by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.
It reminds me each time how important it is to follow one's heart and sing out what is stirring deep inside my heart and soul.
Otherwise, are you being true to yourself and faithful to God's call? In my mind, that is the continued essential question of life.
