"Be thankful and repay / Growth with good work and care. / Work done in gratitude, / Kindly, and well, is prayer. / You did not make yourself, / Yet you must keep yourself / By use of other lives. / No gratitude atones / For bad use or too much."
- Wendell Berry, from A Timbered Choir: The Sabbath Poems, 1979-1997
