A visitation


I twisted a bit of tissue paper to clean the end of a small tube the other night, and in one second I had created a weathered saint of the sort you see on the walls of medieval churches,  complete with halo. Either I am a brilliant sculptor or someone is looking down on me after all.  All I have to do now is work out which one to pray to. That may take some time.

    Darling Tom,

    Saint Stephen!

    The saint of horses, headaches and stonemasons. Perhaps the grisly death he suffered of stoning is a reminder that the tools of the trade of stonemasons can be as deadly as they are beautiful.:):)

      I almost got stoned to death in the 1970s.

      Perhaps that was a different kind of headache....nevertheless, Saint Stephen covers it all!!:):)

    Another hidden talent discovered! How about a logo: Religious artifacts, on demand. Praying? A silent prayer works for me.

    Tom, do you think this was a "sign?" Quite the accidental work of art. From across the pond.

    Tom - did you tittivate it a bit or was this first twist.

    Can you do it again? Or was it a one-time "miracle"!?!

      I'm sure it happens every day but usually goes unnoticed.

    Would you like somebody to be looking down on you?

      Not any somebody. Only a Saint. Very few people look up to me in this world.

      I would if I thought it would do any good. No faith, that's my trouble.

      You don't have to have suffered from appendicitis to remove one as a surgeon...

    I would choose the possibility that it's an angel guarding you.

      That's a nice idea. I should never have thrown it away.
