should know: I waited to live while I was in high school because I thought I wouldn’t really start living until I was in college. I waited to live in college and in grad school because I thought I wouldn’t really start living until I got a degree, got a job, achieved some sort of mythical success. I could go on waiting, I suppose, because I was waiting to see if someone would make me a card-carrying member of the clergy. But I decided that day—and I’m reaffirming that choice now—that I know what I’ve been called to do. I’ve been called to listen for the will of God, to try to follow it.
