I found this quote on another web site. It belongs to Jane Dunnewold and if you are a fiber art lover it is well worth a look. This the first thing on her opening page and it really speaks to me:

You are not here merely to make a living.
You are here in order to enable the world
to live more amply, with greater vision,
with a finer spirit of hope and achievement.
You are here to enrich the world,
and you impoverish yourself
if you forget the errand.

-Woodrow Wilson
