Art, symphony, meeting
Perhaps a story can help unearth it.
What story? What is my story? What pulls and pushes me? Perhaps my own story of having done my duty, but does not break through the soil line. I have not done what I came to do. I have failed, I have only done my duty. Cf Luke 17:10. Only done what was expected of me. This being the case, ought I not seek to push the marble a bit further up the hill? I am a different person each day, and the marble is a different marble each day, and so possible arises.
I worked for almost 48 years in the law, helping clients (those I was called upon to protect) using what knowledge and abilities I had received, and I did this well most of the times. Yet did I do more than restore people to where they were, or help them garner more income, or keep their taxes low? Did I make their lives more meaning-filled, more wonderful? Did I lift life above the mundane, pedestrian existence, to art, and symphony, and meeting?
Art, and symphony, and meeting. This is a Why.
