Black Elk's burden
He receives a vision as a boy and spends his life tormented by his failure to use it for his people. Gifts unused become weight.
Service as direction
The Gita's action without attachment and Black Elk's duty to the people agree: a purpose aimed only at yourself dries out.
Practice
Name one group you serve — family, crew, congregation, apprentices — and one concrete obligation you carry for them this month.
