Love Work for Tana
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” So, put on the new self – the full-time grandmother-friend-lover-mother self. Trade the fluorescent lights and gray walls for sunlit jaunts through the zoo and imaginary jungles of your children’s children, your great reward. For now, you will receive a new kind of compensation: paid in full by the feel of their chubby arms around your neck and waist, the sounds of ragged sighs as they surrender to sleep at last. The benefits include: cereal for dinner, blissful solitude, faithful friends, spontaneous journeys into The word and spirit-still self (EOE). And for those moments of noisy quiet, bereft of bustle and routine, consider what we now know, the truth about why we work: We work for love. And why we stop? we stop, also, for love.
