The Reveal

a short piece about a person discovering true self-worth.

After the piece was complete, it's sculptor knelt to give praise.  Before his thoughts could form, he heard a voice.  A warm, rich and majestic uterrance.  "In despair, ye have created beauty.  Burdened, ye have brought forth charity.  As time ages, thy art's magnificence will increase abundantly.  A radiant warmth,  which conforts anyone who gazes upon it will be everlasting.  Mankind will yearn for its presence."  The sculptor  wept as a thought  finally did emerge.  His self-worth didn't lie in the past.  The true importance is how one affects the future.  All deeds should be determined, accordingly.
