I believe such occasions are due to the fact that he is in spiritual communion with his God on a daily basis.

Finding one's calling is not just about finding something we can do—it is about finding what we can't not do. “Let your life speak” is a time-honored Quaker admonition to live one's life as witness to the deepest truths one knows. But as Parker Palmer explains, those words can also mean “listen to your life, and let it tell you what your truth is.” Vocation, he writes, comes not from external demands but from listening to the true self,...
