One of the sixteen callings
You are oriented toward meaning itself, the sacred, the remembered, the thing worth keeping warm. You tend what others are too busy or too tired to tend.
Your strengths
You remember why things matter when everyone else forgets.
You keep traditions, rituals, and meaning quietly alive.
You bring depth and reverence to the everyday.
Your weaknesses
You can cling to a meaning whose time has passed.
You feel the world's forgetting as a private grief.
You tend others' fires until your own goes neglected.
Your opportunities
A distracted world is starving for the depth you keep.
You can be the keeper of meaning whole communities gather around.
Renewing old meaning for new times is rare and vital work.
Your calling
To keep the sacred fire burning, and pass it on.

Where this purpose can get lost
When tending the fire becomes guarding the ashes, clinging to a meaning the moment has already moved past.
