Working with Love
All work is empty save when done with love. And what is it to
work with love?
It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart,
even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth. It is to build a
house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in
that house.
If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better
than you should leave your work, and sit at the gate of the
temple and take alms from those who work with joy. For if you
bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds
but half of man’s hunger.
And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge
distills a poison in the wine.
Work is love made visible.
