Subject:
Ethics of flawed stone
More on this theme. I'm taking a stone carving course at the Corcoran
here in DC. last class I cracked my piece. I was really embarrassed
(don't know why really) and was immediately thinking up "outs" (I
dropped it, some else dropped it, it happened when I was doing X (when
I had been doing Y, anything but the truth). I told the truth, and had
the real benefits of (a) being told why it really happened (not the
reason I had imagined either), (b) how to repair it, (c) that repairs
such as this are common throughout the National Cathedral. On the last
point, are the Cathedral and its carvers any less now? No, both are
more human. OK, enough of preach stuff.
