"The Meaning of Work"

"So what are you? What do yo do?" said the American to the Italian winemaker (Caparsa Winery, Radda in Chianti, Italy). "I am a peasant", he said. Qickly and forcefully, the foreigner denied this. "You are not just a peasant," said the American. "I'm not just an ownwr," protested Paolo.

Qietly, this winemaker showed the stranger the label on his bottle which read, "....Prodotto e imbottigliato dal coltivatore diretto Paolo Cianferoni" ("Produced and bottled by peasant director Paolo Cianferoni" - also translated as "the director of cultivation"). But Paolo said "peasant".

He was quite proud. I have known this man for five years. He owns the land. He works in the field. He crawls in the barrel. He harvests (with help) and tenderly cares for his wine and olive Oil. He produces and bottles and, at time, is the staff in his shop in Radda. His year 2000 Vintage Doccio a Matteo recived the highest (three glasses) rating in the authoritative wine guide, Gambero Rosso (2004).

He follows his bliss, his internal calling. The word vocation comes from the Latin word "calling". You are called from within to be a peasant or poet or whatever helps you to be you! .......... <continue>
