The Eternal Artist creates the material himself
and shapes it into a final form in various ways:
with gentle touches of the fingers, but also with blows of the chisel.
However, he does not work with dead material.
The greatest creative joy comes to him,
when the work moves under his hands,
when life flows from it,
which wants to meet Him.
(Teresa Benedicta of the Cross /1891–1942/, The Hidden Life)
