A POLISHED SHAFT

"I am like a huge, rough stone rolling down

from a high mountain, and the only polishing

I get is when some corner gets rubbed off

 by coming in contact with something else,

 striking with accelerated force - 

all hell knocking off a corner here and a corner there. 

Thus I will become a smooth and polished shaft 

in the quiver of the Almighty."

- Joseph Smith

A DESCENDANT OF ABRAHAM

"It is the mark of a descendant of Abraham

that he is able to swim against the tide,

to stand up...for what he believes and,

even though he be in the minority, not be

corrupted by the pressures of the environment."

- Miller, "Abraham, Friend of God", p 79-80

MY FATHER'S DAUGHTER

I am my father's daughter

I have my Grandma's eyes

I am the product of their sacrifice

I am the accumulation of the dreams 

of generations

And their stories live in me like holy water

I am my father's daughter

- Jewel, "My Father's Daughter"

HOW YOU MAKE THEM FEEL

"I've learnt that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did, 

but people will never forget how you 

made them feel."

-  Maya Angelou

NOBLEST ART
