Effort is its own reward

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

We are here to do.
And through doing to learn;
and through learning to know;
and through knowing to experience wonder;
and through wonder to attain wisdom;
and through wisdom to find simplicity;
and through simplicity to give attention;
and through attention
to see what needs to be done.....
