bind me not to the pasture

A few lines from Marta Keen Thompson's Homeward Bound that I feel I can relate to, are...
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
Except for me it's..
Bind me not the office
Chain me not to the computer
Set me free to find my calling

It's so good to remember that I am not eternally bound to office work. I'm grateful to have the work and I enjoy it, but it is not my calling in life. I find comfort in knowing that if not in this life, in the next I will leave the office behind for a grander calling.

One other line I'm still contemplating is...

When adventure's lost its meaning 

 Will it? What do you think this means?
