Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My weeks have gone grey and going-through-the-motions, and what I miss most is that warm, chest-swelling pull I get watching someone pour themselves into something with real heart
• My weeks have flattened into screens and errands, and I can’t remember the last time something genuinely beautiful or masterful stopped me in my tracks
• So much has been stripped away that I feel like a passive recipient of my own life, and I miss the feeling of making something
• My weeks have quietly filled up with things that leave me hollow and emptied of the few that actually refill me
• My days feel small and self-enclosed, all about me and my own little concerns, and the times I’ve felt most lifted out of myself were when I was caught up in something bigger than me
