When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. To love life through labor is to be intimate with life s inmost secret.
All work is empty save when there is love, for work is love made visible.
In my consulting practice, I often work with people whose work, through a series of circumstances, has chosen them. Sometimes these career choices seem arbitrary. One person liked a professor he had in college and therefore took up that person s occupation. What many deemed practical dictated their direction. Some chose a professional graduate school so they would be qualified to do something, only to realize in their first job that they do not like the work itself.
