My Avocation and My Vocation



"But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.
Only where love and need are one,
And the work is play for mortal stakes,
Is the deed ever really done
For Heaven and the future's sakes." Robert Frost

It is a pleasure to watch Susan Schneider work in her Custom Lamps and More Shop, Shandells, Rte. 22 (in the Old Garage), Millerton, NY Susan personifies this last stanza of one of my favorite Robert Frost Poems. She is a reminder to me that it is possible to be extremely happy in what you do to make a living. With a keen eye to design she produces extraordinary pieces of art and still finds the time to be a friend to those who perhaps linger too long like me. http://www/Shandells.com/
