An Artisan, a World on Fire
Have you heard the expression, “going to hell in a handbasket”? Well, the man who makes those handbaskets is sad that they’re only used for this purpose. He thought they’d be requisitioned for carrying apples, thermoses of lemonade and sandwiches. It’s summer, and there is so much to love. But somewhere, an orphanage is reduced to rubble. Somewhere, a bullet flies until a body stops it. And what can we say of this basket maker, yearning for a society where citizens might only admire his craftsmanship? His attention to detail. The sturdy base. The willow spokes, woven and perfectly bent.
