"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. For if you break bread with indifference, you bake bitter bread that feeds but half a man’s hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of 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, 20th century Syrian-born mystic poet, philosopher, and artist
from The Prophet.
This is one of my favorites! Love what you do and let it flow through your creations
Thank you for the reminder
You are welcome, Mark!
Sheila – I love Gibran. Here he again reminds me that what I hold in my heart permeates everything that I do. Every desk, work counter, artist's palette, musician's stand… is an altar, when we offer our gifts and talents, with love. Thank you. Love, Greg
