As I watch Orion move slowly above me, I realize that purpose is like a constellation—it can only be glimpsed in darkness, but it is always there, a homing device of the soul. Author and teacher Meg Wheatley asks her students, “Do you think your life's purpose is something you create or discover?” She suggests that rather than arguing about which is the right answer, they live as if each were true for a week and notice the effect of their experiment.

I have been doing just that. To begin with, I had to define what I thought purpose was. My mind was filled with echoes from my childhood: “Mommy, I didn't mean it.” “Please, Daddy, don't hit me, I didn't do it on purpose.” Since uncovering purpose is a process of “in-forming”—shaping oneself from the inside out—and the natural language of the soul is the image, I realized I'd have to turn to my intuitive mind to get a clearer sense of my reason for being. I knew I wasn't searching for a twelve-word “vision statement.” Rather, I needed to hunt for a felt sense, a radar beacon. Just as geese have an internal capacity to follow coastlines and the magnetic resonance of the Earth to tell them where to go, I was looking for a guide through the journey to soul-making.
