He released the image from the stone. He believed his job was to uncover what already existed. In a way your talent and blessings are similar. You have found much good in a difficult place and chipped away at to reveal much beauty. The marked difference between your work and that of Michaelangelo is that his work could only evoke emotion. In the end, with all its beauty it may well have brought a sense of spirituality and a desire to be closer to God. Your work with stone does that, but instead of releasing the figure within, it works to nourish the mind, body and soul and puts into action the living figures who work to build, who work to heal and teach. In the end you and the children you all help are the living art of the true Master. God bless your work. It is wonderful. God bless the children, they are precious.

The children's first house is looking good! What are the dimensions of it? The squareness of it is mind boggling with what you have to work with. Have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy a good meal. That shrimp you had a few days ago sure looked good. Be well. Ed Dave,

The Social Justice along the road is something horrific for certain but something that a past visitor to Kenya can imagine [but still not truly understand] in this frontier country. Sobobo's new traveling digs looks both functional and meets the needs of your sidekick! He looks very happy David! I trust you are well and full of God's graces as you forge forward! I saw Ali and Boo Boo on Sunday. Boo is turning into a young lady! Ali is a growing young mother to be. Both looked fabulous! Hugs and Love Dera Brother. Have a blessed day. Patric Hello Brother,

You leave us with the impossible task of trying to imagine how Gilbert experienced this. But I know that's an impossible task for you as well -- and for Gilbert himself, I'm sure. We need these hard truths just as we need the poetry of all the finish work being done. I love how the steps lead up to -- and into -- things. You know I'm a sucker for the "flow"...

I love how the steps lead up to — and into — things. You know I’m a sucker for the “flow”…
