Quotes About Delight

When you have fun doing something, it stops being work, really.
~ Joey Kramer

It's like the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy, or anyone who delights in anything ephemeral. The charm in a bottle of wine, the craft, all the work that goes into it . . . actually delighting in the fact that it's perishable and goes away I find really helpful.
