And what is it to work with love?

It is to weave the cloth with threads
drawn from your own heart,
even as if your beloved
were to wear that cloth.

It is to build a house with affection,
even as if your beloved
were to dwell in that house.

It is to sow seeds with tenderness
and reap the harvest with joy,
even as if your beloved
were to eat the fruit.

It is to charge all things you fashion
with a breath of your own spirit,
And to know that all the blessed dead
are standing about you and watching.

~Kahil Gibran
