[...] Continuing on my train of thought about the subject of “service”, with previous conversations here and here… I think this is a good topic and it seems to be at least touching a nerve with people, regardless of whether or not we’re all on the same page about it. [...]

” but Iâ€™m interested in finding out more! ”

When I clicked on the links I thought it suited you to a ‘T’. My friends father, who made some bootstraps as a child in Mexico then pulled himself by them, had a saying: “Do you really make money doing that?”.

You know, Cat, that’s not quite what I had in mind at the time of writing, but I’m interested in finding out more!

I understand that calling all too well… first got it in my late teens, did my best while learning how better to use my abilities, see how many folk I could help. Finally went pro in 2002 with Athanor Consulting, who are always looking for a few good mages… as you say;
“Iâ€™m talking about committing myself to some sort of public organization which operates according to a certain set of principles, being part of some bigger effort, getting myself a little more swept up in the wave thatâ€™s coming”
We try to do that, especially working from principles of honour, respect, compassion and minimum force/action.
Let me know if this sounds like the sort of action you are looking for!

While Iâ€™m really sort of sketched out about where things like â€œthe worldâ€ and â€œthe economyâ€ are going, Iâ€™m feeling pretty fine about my own life.

Just go with that. About two years ago my employer lost its contract while I was trying to buy a condo. I felt great about it and went ahead based on that feeling. Everything turned out great and I learned a lesson about intuition.

Not arbitrary or vague things. What needs to be done.

Why not look into home care for the elderly or handicapped? I know that for some of this stuff you need credentials but random errand running is just the type of thing some people need. I just had foot surgery and I would’ve been in trouble if I hadn’t had anybody to help out. Try volunteering somewhere to see how the system works in your area and what connections you need. When you’re sick you don’t feel like going through a bureaucracy to get a cup of coffee from McDonalds. You’re experience with dogs is really a plus in this but be careful how you word that in an interview.

Either way, those roots of service have had a deep and honored place in my family

And I shall call you Coffee Man. When you’ve been on Vicodin for four days coffee is really a miracle. Also, guiding people towards their final river is a noble calling.

learn how to be a better bluesman, sit down on the bayou and cry or something

I think you will need a time machine for this part of your plan.
