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.

This makes as much sense to me as anything I ever heard from, for example, the Reverend Pat Robertson.”
