I: deep in the apse of a church,
her marble garb graces the floor.

II: An angelic hand gently touches the
shoulder of a beautiful young woman.

III: Her head thrown back in happiness.

IV: The angel smiling. The young woman’s mouth is agape.

V: Light coming down from the clerestory is
reflected and refracted off the alabaster marble.

VI:  An golden arrow is grasped by the angelic being.

VII: This marble behemoth seems to floating like
saint theresa did long ago.

VIII: The young woman seems to be enjoying this
heavenly experience.

IX: Golden rods of lights illuminate this sculpture
in the background.

X: This sculpture catches my eye like no other sculpture
has before.

XI: I marvel at this sculpture, and i wonder
did god truly come down and touch the man
who made this?

XII: I deeply ponder this for a couple of minutes

XIII: As the crowd moves, I glance one more time at the
immaculate sculpture...
