LOVE this passage on Work as Pilgramage, by David Whyte: To seek out beauty in our work is to make a pilgrimage of our labors, to understand that the consummation of work lies not only in what we have done, but who we have become while accomplishing the task. To view work as a pilgrimage is to put our hearts desires to hazard, because merely by setting out, we have told ourselves that there is something bigger and better, or even smaller and better – above all something more life giving – that awaits us in our work, and we are going to seek it. We look around to see what we have for that journey and find to begin with that we possess only intuitions and imagination, and a broad blank slate, and strangely, just exactly what we need for any real beginning; a horizon as yet beautifully untouched by our constant need to name things too early.
