Dissecting Kahlil Gibran’s “On Work”

From an organizational perspective…

 
I just typed out on my typewriter, Kahlil Gibran’s poem “On Work” from his most celebrated work, The Prophet.

While the poem is two-page long and a must-read if you want to understand what work really signifies, a small section of the poem really called to me for a closer look:

And what is it to work with love?
It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.
It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house.
It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit.
It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit,
And to know that all the blessed dead are standing about you and watching.

I am keen to understand what this section looks like from an organizational perspective. Here I go:

It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.
