True Wisdom emerges silently, rising up from the Mystery of the unseen Source within all.
~ from WALKING WITH WISDOM by Nan C. Merrill
Doing work which has to be done over and over again helps us recognize the natural cycles of growth and decay, of birth and death, and thus become aware of the dynamic order of the universe. "Ordinary" work, as the root meaning of the term indicates, is work that is in harmony with the order we perceive in the natural environment.
