Singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen told an interviewer in 1998 that his creative process is “…like a bear stumbling into a beehive or a honey cache: I’m stumbling right into it and getting stuck, and it’s delicious and it’s horrible and I’m in it and it’s not very graceful and it’s very awkward and it’s very painful and yet there’s something inevitable about it.”
What a great description of living into our life’s calling. If you know that God has given it to you, don’t be embarrassed and don’t let fear hold you back. Stumble, get stuck, get sticky…stumble like a bear.
