Draw, Antonio, Draw

November 15th, 2006 Lois Kelly Posted in Musings |

  Four friends called this week. Two are stuck in job ruts, trying to muster the energy and guts to do something different. Two others called to say they had just been diagnosed with cancer.

The conversations remind me to take heed in Michelangelo’s advice to his apprentice, Antonio — whether it’s moving ahead a career or seeking a more joyful, contented personal life amid what is. A few days after his death, this note was found in Michelangelo’s studio:

“Draw, Antonio, draw, Antonio, draw and do not waste time.”
