On May first, a poem to celebrate how good work can be when we love what we do.
Good days
Beyond just a job lies engagement
where challenge is nourishment;
where time looses shape, effort
grows strength and means is the end in itself.
Not simply adequate, but a thriving place
where work becomes love made real.
Beyond good enough is a flourishing world
where work is its own reward;
where energy lifts wide-stretched wings
on upward spiraling drafts.
Thanks, Rilla , I love your positive little poems. They make us stop and think, and then carry on in a better mood.
Another wonderful poem. I dreamt myself back to the time when my working life was just as you describe it. Those were heady years.
Thank you for the comment, Kate. Heady days indeed!
