Leisure time is productive I find....but I must whisper this I actually do miss work. Khalil Gibran said something wonderful on this subject.
Work is love made visible.
It also has the merit of being true for the lucky ones. As we iron our loved ones shirts I am not sure sometimes but when I find my albs and surplices freshly ironed for me by my husband I know it to be true!
Kipling wrote this on the subject.
When Earths last picture is painted
We shall rest and lie down for a while
Till the Master of all good Workmen
Shall put us to work anew
And no one shall work for money
And no one shall work for fame
But each for the joy of the working
For the God of Things as they are.
I am lucky I know but everything I do when I work brings me joy. To find this in my old age truly makes me a very lucky woman. Thank you God.
