I came across an aphorism yesterday
That resonated with me in a powerful way-
It said that people have a tendency to underestimate
How comforting work can be, it captures the relationship of love and hate
That many of us have with work- even when things are not going well
There is comfort in being engaged in work, it does not give us time to dwell
On negative thoughts that lead into rabbit-holes
Work grounds us, shifts our focus to immediate goals

Work is a comforting presence in my life, I confess
The predictable rhythm of work is essential to my success
The morning cup of coffee, the mostly predictable commute
The anticipation of a productive work-day, all contribute
To my well-being, despite periods of stress
That often make me want to work a little less
Without work, unmoored and unmotivated I might be
There is comfort in work, I agree wholeheartedly
Passion...unbridled
