Piety

When the eye wakes up to see, it suddenly stops taking anything for granted. The thing I draw, be it leaf, rosebush, woman, or child, is no longer a thing, no longer my "object."...By drawing it, I dignify it. I declare it worthy of total attention, as worthy of attention as I am myself, for sheer existence is the awesome mystery and miracle we share.--Frederick Franck

Pieta by Frederick Franck

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.--Matthew 6:22
