I Will Finish

I Will Resist All Temptation

*

Creation flows ethereally between visible and invisible, between air and water

*

The Ancients sculpted bodies seeking the divine;

Yet the flesh will inevitably perish.

The human form must be dressed in Spirit to become Eternal.

Mortification sculpts the form visible and invisible.

The sculpture comes from chipping at the unnecessary marble.

*

"I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need."
