On a Rope

Chassidic master Rabbi Chaim of Krosno observed an acrobat balancing on a rope high above the ground. He told his disciples:

"If that man would think about the money he would earn with his act, instead of concentrating on his rope, he would surely make a mistake and crash to his death..."

Concluded Rabbi Chaim: "Shouldn't we concentrate on our service to G-d in the same way?"

I have been doing family geneology on Krosno, Poland, and I saw your beautiful picture.
Thank you.

Seeing your artwork is like seeing art for the first time in my life.
As for the issue of money, he needs no money, he is passionate for perfection and fell many times before he quit performing for those watching, releasing the bonds of distraction.
