The L'Arche Canada Foundation in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada with Jean Vanier's Daily Thoughts for Friday, 4 November 2016 "Keeping Feet on the Ground"
It is good if people with a responsibility do [some] manual work, whether this is washing up or cooking the occasional meal. This keeps their feet on the ground and ensures they get their hands dirty. It creates new relationships; those who work with them see them as people and not just as functionaries.[Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 228]
