You work that you may keep peace with the earth and the soul of the earth.
And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life,
And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret...And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself and to one another, and to God.
Work is love made visible.
And if you cannot work with love but only distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.
And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.
And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.-Excerpts from The Prophet, Khalil Gibran

I like your pics here mark, they talk about passion for good life. I'm not a photography person though but I like taking good pictures sometimes hehe. I have to say, it's no longer work if you enjoy what you're doing. It's already a hobby hehe...
