Disturbance









"where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art"- Leonardo Da Vinci.


"The train rumbles gently across the rails, there is a strange disturbance inside. Somebody yells, "pull the chain!", the stationmaster is summoned- "for an hour and a half we have been stranded, what kind of peanuts were YOU eating?!". The stationmaster is unabashed and calls his Railway Police Force. He is reprimanded. A complaint is lodged. Words are exchanged and life moves on. Inside somebody is inspired to complain all his heart's desires. Quietly I ask myself, 'to whom must we complain and who will hear our plea...is the stationmaster present at every platform of life?'"
