Avocation
Your avocation is what you find yourself doing even when you didn’t really intend to do anything at all. In hermetic terminology, it’s also called “true will.” Avocation is just ones “calling to action.” So you may have always suspected something about yourself, and dismissed it in saying “Ah no, that’s just silly.” Your first impression of yourself was right, the rest has been silly, but you can have that first impression again at any time. Right now, entertain that you have a calling. Feel it inside of yourself. It’s freedom, and realize that every time you felt free, it was because you were on that path and doing that very broad thing. Find your invocation, the presence of the infinite divine in you. Then pursue your avocation, the expression of the gift that you are anyway, even if it isn’t trendy right now. Then accept an evocation in the world.
“My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight”
Robert Frost (American poet, 1874-1963)
