“Labor has four parts to celebrate: work, rest from work, appreciation of the work done (yours and others), and the recognition of how your work has shaped you. When you build a house, you have both a house and a builder. When you plant a garden, you have plants and a gardener, too. When you teach, if you remain open to the discovery itself, you have a lifetime of learning. Engage with the world and it will hone you, more connected, more able to love all the world, including all the hard parts.” — Shellen Lubin
Labor has four parts to celebrate:
work, rest from work,
appreciation of the work done (yours and others),
and the recognition of how your work
has shaped you.
When you build a house, you have both a house and a builder.
When you plant a garden, you have plants
and a gardener, too.
When you teach, if you remain open to the discovery itself,
you have a lifetime of learning.
Engage with the world and it will hone you,
more connected, more able to love all the world,
including all the hard parts.
