Work with Love


All work is empty save when there is love;
And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, 
and to one another, and to God.

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.

It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, 
even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit.

It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit,

And to know that all the blessed dead 
are standing about you and watching.

-Kahlil Gibram, The prophet
