The Task of the Sculptor

Isn’t this true of every person as well?

 

The possibility of empathy and use of our imagination and compassion allows us to see and feel another’s experience and understand how it has affected them for better or worse. As empathetic people, we seek the beauty within.

Strength at the Start of a New Week

If no one else tells you that you are important, if you are greeted by dull eyes and quiet stares, if you seek to improve yourself without outside validation, if you choose to create the best for others while they may not give it in return, you are indeed that one person who makes a difference towards change that matters in the world.

Monday Motivation – Improvement for all

 

Sometimes we let a bad situation fester, creating a slippery slope that benefits no one.  Neither the one who fails through laziness, or “wins” by dispiriting others around them, nor the overall morale is improved.  The longer such a situation drains the spirit of an environment, the more it poisons those who would seek to improve or who have given up hope of such positive change.

How easy, and how sad, it is to kill the priceless qualities of motivation and loyalty.  Respect can be earned and embraced when shared equally.

Facing the Past

 

The focus is the soaring height of the historical architecture and while there are crowds of people, deep in their individual prayers, they are connected in their faith and focus on the Western Wall of the 2nd temple in Jerusalem.  The second temple was finished in 516 BC and stands as a testament to religious freedom and survival for over 2,500 years.

From excavations in the Jewish Quarter, walkways and columns, as well as stalls and other evidence of daily life, were discovered dating back to the 6th century AD.  The “Cardo” was the main street in ancient Roman cities.  The Cardo still stands as a piece of history where people can see what architecture and life was like historically.  The history and ancient buildings draw in the eye as people walk by on cobblestones thousands of years old.

Jerusalem stands as the home and birthplace for three religions.  It welcomes all pilgrims and those who seek to appreciate its beauty and historical significance.
