Work is love made visible.
And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
If you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man’s hunger.
And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.
And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man’s ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.
~ Kahlil Gibran (quoted in Charles Waterstreet’s SMH column)

Letting go is a Catch-22. You don’t want to let go until you have something new to cling to, but you can’t discover the new thing until you let go. In between, you must cross a mystery zone. Eventually you get to the point where you can’t stand the feeling of things not adding up for one more minute. That’s when you take a leap of faith, and the questions start to feel more important than the answers. You’re in a new place. The bad news: There are no maps. The good news? You are the mapmaker.

A great article about a 72-year longitudinal study of the mental and physical well-being of 268 men who entered college in the late 1930. It’s a long article – but worth the read. Lot’s of good stuff here…
