Corners removed, rough surfaces smoothed, wind filled sails form perfect curves with no deviations allowed. The mast top point is evident with the jib to the left and the main sail to the right.
While grinding in the midst of a cloud of dust that swirled around me then trailed off with the winds a song from my distant past stepped to the front of my mind, Sailing by Chris Croft. The lyrics, "Sailing, takes me away from..." reminded me of carving. The process of sculpting consumes my attention and takes me away from whatever is going on in the world. My world reduces to the moment with just me, my tools and the sculpture... so simple, so complete.
