On Work (Barista Girl)

Posted Feb 1, 2006, 10:20:34 PM UTC
"...And what is it to work with love?

It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.

It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house.

It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit.

It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit,

And to know that all the blessed dead are standing about you and watching..."

    --Kahlil Gibran The Prophet

This is one of the illustrations I have done for The Prophet. Seeing as I work at Starbucks and wanted to adapt these writings to contemporary society, I chose the barista theme...
