Not even in the work itself but in the small moments of freedom. It’s not rolling the boulder up but when the boulder is rolling down and Sisyphus is free just until he reaches the boulder again and starts all over.

Sisyphus, by knowing there is no meaning, can enjoy the small things unlike us who assume a meaning that isn’t there.
