In the end, we are all all sculptors, aren't we? One could reasonably argue that our lives are like the blocks of stone Michelangelo refers to in the quote below. May the new year bring us all the patience and wisdom to discover the statues that live inside of us.
“Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.” ~ Michelangelo
