Inspiration from lyrics to “Making of a Soul” by Nathen Aswell:“There is no destination; the journey is the goal.
I’m busy with the making of a soul ….
I have no map to guide me; there is no book of rules.
The only thing that’s certain is joy will lead me home.
I’m part of God unfolding; I trust and fully give.
All that really matters is that while I live, I live.
My gifts are what is needed; the universe is home.
I’m busy with the making of a soul.”
