“Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.” – Michelangelo
“A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.” – Michelangelo
The clean edges, the grace of form, the transformation to a work of art comes with time, patience and effort. And the statute is never really done. What life are you sculpting for yourself? What is shaping you and what are you shaping in return? Shaping or chasing?
We want to know the ending before we begin. But that’s not how life works. And when we forego the mystery of the journey, we miss the heartbeat of life, the beauty of it really. Open up and let life in. Trust that you are where you need to be and immerse yourself in each moment. The task of the sculptor is to discover it.
