Acts of Hope

Being in relationship with God and art making are very similar to the point of being related.  Art making is a very sincere acting out of a belief in creating beauty.  Striving to make beauty is a tremendous act of hope.  The act of faith toward God is the most sincerely hopeful act of humans.  It is the acting out of a belief in Whom cannot be seen or proven which animates our bodies to the doing of good often in opposition to its own good.   It is the only dependent means by which humans become and maintain morality.

Cathedral building is also a most sincere act of hope.
