Jan 9: The local gardener. Quietly going about his business in the morning. I spoke to a gardener once (not this one) about that in his job which he loves the most. The answer was simple and moving - he doesn't shape the results of his hard work the way a sculptor does...all he does is to provide the appropriate environment for every different plant and then watch it grow. Naturally, I was prompted to ask about the worst part of his job. What he didn't like was the fact that people would open their windows to scream at him and then jam them shut again, without the tiniest effort to understand his explanation.
Sounded to me like the kind of work god does and the response he gets from us. :D
