"This book is the fruit of a strange vocation: perhaps this vocation could simply be called 'living', yet to see living as a vocation may seem out of place. After all, we all live. A vocation is something we do, usually something we choose to do. Yet, the words in this book were not chosen so freely, rather they are words that found me as I was living at a particular place and time and were gracious enough to allow me to pick them up and place them on these pages. It is only in looking back over my life that I have come to feel these words as truly my words, in a way that nothing else I have written or said does. If a vocation is where you have been called to put your life's deepest energies, then fashioning the words in this book has been my vocation." William Meroney, 2025
