Summary of Parker J. Palmer's Let Your Life Speak
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The old Quaker saying, Let your life speak, has a different meaning for me today. It means listening to my life before I decide what I want to do with it.
#2 Vocation is not about making a list of values and trying to live up to them. It is about listening to your life and understanding what it is trying to tell you. Behind this understanding of vocation is a truth that the ego does not want to hear: everyone has a different life than the I of daily consciousness, and that life is trying to live through you.
#3 We must learn to listen to our lives, and we must do so under quiet, inviting, and trustworthy conditions. The soul is not responsive to subpoenas or cross-examinations, and it will only speak its truth under these conditions.
#4 The soul is like a wild animal. It is tough, resilient, savvy, self-sufficient, and yet exceedingly shy. If we want to see a wild animal, we should not go crashing through the woods shouting for it to come out. We should walk quietly into the woods and sit silently for an hour or two at the base of a tree.
