The seasons of planning, hard work, hope, and letting go. Love is a word that does not have a high % of pleasure. Instead it grows a deeper and more frequent experience of meaning and work, teaching about life as humans have lead in centuries long past when labor saving was not even a concept of living.

Thank you for introducing me to Ross Gay. Such a refreshing outlook on life.
