“Why do they do what they do with such regularity, such mindfulness, such devotion? They do it because it is their sacred work. They do it because not to do it would be to deny what they know is theirs to manage and care about. The right action does not depend upon having a right outcome. It depends on taking the action because that is the action that rises before you in the moment with all its grace and power and majesty -- and because it demands to be done. The action is all.”
