Have you ever seen the stone sculpture of Michelangelo's that is partially finished? It looks like it is coming alive out of this huge chunk of stone. It was in there all the time, it just needed to have someone pull the marble off of it. Genius comes in many forms. The spelling bee, Good Will Hunting, The IQ wizard, the server who can remember 15 orders without a pen, or maybe MJ on one of the good days. But let's not forget the artists, whomever you believe them to be. The painter, the actor, the pickpocket, or guitarist. Today for me it was the Sculptor. I watched the teacher pull life from a lump of gray clay in a matter of minutes. Rough and unfinished it had a beauty that was beyond words. Only to be mashed into a ball and done again. Amazing. This little honey was most certainly not from the master but merely s a stop along the road in the hunt for Genius. What is your Genius?
