After my doctors declared me disabled and unable to work at 43, I reflected on my life guidance to my children as they grew up, The term Advocation, beyond being a worker, a career man, began to evolve for me.
[I wrote the following as an expression of my Advocations and first published it in my Journal around 2005.]
Accused of being a Renaissance Man once, I had to look up the reference. For a moment there I thought I was accused of being “old”. Ok, I’m there now, but this was several decades ago.
Some Renaissance Man! Hah! I had to look up the definition, the derivation.
Ok, so I got it. I tend to be interested in a lot of stuff, yet not expert at much. You know, I like the reference. It sort of fits. I have always been interested in the world at-large. I’m a curious fellow and I’m glad to have tried my hand at much in life. Here’s my initial brainstorming list in no particular order.
Know me well? Feel free to add to it.
