Joyously engaged in the craft of building

I realized that if I were painter about to paint a great catastrophe, I could not put the first stroke on canvas without thinking of Joy in doing it. You cannot make a building unless you are joyously engaged.

I would like to feel that I have not forgotten, nor have you as I speak to you, about the stream of Joy which must be felt. Otherwise, you really don’t feel anything. If what I say somehow activates that feeling, I would, of course, be terribly pleased and honored.
