Re: Service as a Way of Knowing

check out part II--

"This is an activity the cynics seem to miss. It is a type of service not done for any personal gain, but to satisfy the needs of the task  – to do what is called for. A carpenter may finish the underside of a chair because it feels right, is called for, even though the selling price will remain the same and the customer may not notice or care. "

now i just read the other day and was gonna post it but got lazy, it went something like this..."when the knowing see that something must be done, they get to work on it...when they see that that something must be done, they then r the ones to do it"... to do what is called for.  i absolutely love that, so much discipline and responsibility is needed for that.  so cool.  out of a true sense of obligation, to complete a task/mission, to see it til completion. thats in our DNA i think, cant rest right until and to take pride in that.  good deal.
