Elegance at Work

Watching Samuel at work yesterday at the most delicious coffee house called Seven Seeds improved my mood tremendously. He was lovely to see, sweet to talk with, and had a certain panache to the way he moved and approached his busy job.

He reminded me of that Taoist saying that goes something like this. A man chops onions. A man becomes enlightened. A man chops onions.

How you do what you do is more essential than what you do.
