Great Works

A Great Work is a project that may take years to complete, maybe it will never be finished at all. The value of the Great Work is in the process of making it, the things learned along the way, and the simple joy of doing something worth doing.

Not every Great Work has a tangible outcome. Learning to play the piano is a Great Work. Learning a language is a Great Work. Improving fitness is a Great Work. These are also things that take years to do, and are worth doing, so why not make them feel a little grander than they might seem?
