Servitude
I've been reading Jane Eyre and in the book Jane wants a new job. She says that she can't imagine trying to do something extravagant but she can allow herself to look for an opportunity of servitude. I thought about my dreams and what I want to accomplish in my life and I realize what more can I ask for but to be a servant. I'm in a perfect position for that. I daily wipe poop out of panties, wash other people's clothes and clean their toilets and am by all accounts fairly unimportant; but every day I serve. I'm finding more joy in the day to day since I've sought this attitude. I wonder how Mother Teresa and others like her found joy in servitude.
