So,..Michealangelo was in his sculpture studio, when his Pal...Tomasso dei Cavalleri wanders in, a callow youth, with little real life experience:

"Mike ,..I really dont know how you do these great sculptures..beyond me..and what in **** is that great block of marble here for"?

"Tom, its an Angel"

"Mike..I dont get it"

"Tom ,..its easy"......exit Tommo......

Two months later, 'Tommo' drops by and sees a massive , fantastic Angel,..wings outspread.....er ..er..err.

"Mike just how do you do it "?

Mike draws close to Toms ear and whispers..."Easy kiddo. I just look at the great big chunk of marble....REALLY look at it.

Then..... I grab my hammer and chisel and whack away at any bit that is not made of ANGEL ...when all the bits that are not ANGEL, are on the floor,...Tom.. I figure that I'M done..

The Angel was in there, all the time

Tommaso del Cavalleri is the Doubting Thomas that holds us. for many, back

My Gift for all at Pace Maker Club for Christmas, and indeed for those who have thier own first names ,...is ..to see The Angel in our midst. All it needs a bit of imagination.

Its corny,..but lets have faith ..in talent and vision

Happy Christmas
