"Sculpting Light" (Hafiz)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The
Difference
Between a good artist
and a great one

Is:

​​​​​​​The novice
Will often lay down her tool
Or brush

Then pick up an invisible club
On the mind's table

And helplessly smash the easels and
Jade.


Whereas the vintage woman
No longer hurts herself or anyone

And keeps on 

Sculpting

Light.

Photographer's Note:

I have always loved this poem by Hafiz and its layered meanings.

The idea of the artist not giving up, quietly continuing to create, making images of beauty, even when an original project does not come out as anticipated.  Always drawing from the depths of Soul, seeing and sculpting the light.

And in our lives - an encouragement for keeping on, through loss, change, the unknown - 
A reminder of the Light still alive within, more miracles of  life yet ahead to be created.


In happy times, and those of sorrow -  May you always see and sculpt the Light.
