On Work and Leisure

early morning frost
(Thanksgiving 2009, Lansdowne, Ontario)

"We had our work, did it and enjoyed it. We had our leisure, used it and enjoyed that. During the hours of bread labor we worked and worked hard. We have never worked harder and have never enjoyed work more, because, with rare exceptions, the work was significant, self-directed, constructive and therefore interesting."

- Helen and Scott Nearing, Living the Good Life
