Work

Build well.

Honest work is sacrament. The repaired tool, the mastered craft, the maintained home, the assembled model, the shipped project — building well is how a person moves with the Force rather than against it. We do not pray for what we can build. What is well built and well taught outlives its builder — that is all the continuity the faith asks.

From the thinkers

"Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions." — Benjamin Franklin, the virtue of Industry, Autobiography

From the story-cycle

No Padawan was counted a Jedi until they had built their own lightsaber with their own hands — the building itself, not the possession, was the passage. Arkinneans keep that teaching literally: we build.
