"Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune. But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth’s furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life, And to love life through labor is to be intimate with life’s inmost secret."

~ Kahlil Gibran, 20th century Syrian-born mystic poet, philosopher, and artist from The Prophet

Love life through labor.

Testimonials
“I have been looking forward to getting onto my computer each day to see what you have in store for me that day. I read two things each day. A passage from the bible and now your newsletter. I use both of them to guide and inspire me throughout the following day. In my mind, you truly are a great philosopher! Keep up the great work. Thanks,”
