Nature invokes her own discipline. Discipline makes life sweet. It is nice to sit by the fire in the evening with a cup of coffee. It is a much fuller experience to sit by the fire with a cup of coffee after working in the sugar bush for a couple of hours. Sure you're tired, sweaty, and your arms ache but the spirit has been exercised.
Work is good.
The bond created working with others is even better. Another lesson from the sugar bush. It had been a long day. I'd just gotten back from a round-trip meeting that had me driving for seven hours. Dusk was coming on fast.
