Love can make you feel humble. I think your heart could make up for any lack in your hands.

I often wondered how he sculpted. Those marble gifts he left us. Could he have done it (at times), with his eyes closed? There always is the inner voice to direct and guide us. Listen to yours and claim what you desire.

I often wondered too, Theresa. Whenever I see any work of his (or any sculptor, for that matter, classical ones anyway), I am always amazed at the detail and it blows my mind how that was done from a slab of stone. Truly is a very rare ability, I think. Thanks for reading. And thank you. :-)

My pleasure Julian. Sometimes I create something and later I think "Now how did I do this?" It is as if once done I only have to appreciate it, and no longer be concerned with the whys and hows. I will still look at statues or the crucifix and marvel over the workmanship, just as you do. All that matters is the brilliance of artistry is in the physical form for us to see. Lovely day!

I agree with melody- the real magic is done by the soul and the heart, if your hands (and/or body) is in sync with it; you can do wonders! :)

Hey Julian, as a facebook friend your work is more important to me than alot of what I read here, and let me say this was very interesting as I read along.

Sometimes love gives us power in areas we lack,
just as smiles come from others when we frown.

Good note my friend!
