I had three opportunities, as a professional cellist, to live in a different country.
I studied in Paris, France, and later, I played in the Puerto Rico Symphony.
I also played chamber music in Orvieto, Italy.
Each time, I had the opportunity to learn the language and to live off the local economy.
Learning a new vocabulary to meet my grocery needs and to get directions was a fun challenge.
I learned to allow enough time to make my needs known, and to allow for getting lost, (especially as I was carrying a cello!).
As I now explore the divine economy I find I need a language of spiritual terms.
When I employ this vocabulary, it leads me to experiences living off the divine economy.
The divine economy supplies me with peace, calm, and guidance.
My good ideas come from listening quietly within.
I am led to employ them in productive ways which contribute to the divine economy as well.
A vocabulary which uplifts me, helps me uplift others.
A vocabulary which enriches my life, helps me enrich the lives of others.
It is wonderful to learn to live in this divine economy wherever I am.
