N. O. Brown: “To find meaning is to find work. In alchemy, the Great Work of Transformation; transform the nature of work. Labor is fertility. Instead of Gross Natural Product, reproduction. Reproduction of the eternal earth. Ecology instead of economy.” x.com/covidyoga/status/1364322822592503809?s=20
