WORK IS ULTIMATELY ABOUT CREATION. We apply ourselves to a particular situation in the world and our energy, our work, changes that situation and creates something new. Whether this is a physical creation, as in the case of construction, or an organizational creation, as in the case of management, or the creation of a more healthy, happy person, as in the case of the helping professions, work is about creation and creativity.

and this from inward/outward;
By Booker T. Washington
No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.
a prayer copied from verse and voice:
God who cares for the weary, we pray for all who work more than one job in order to provide for their families. We pray especially for single parents who labor in many roles; give them rest and support from their communities. May the dignity of all workers be honored, today and each day.
and some History too:
