A beautiful haiku, Dave, capturing the idea of the beauty foreseen in any material by the artist, who must see it before working it into art.
BTW: 'caressed'has only one 'r'.

You're observant Win. It must be the encounter recorded at John 4.14. Jesus talking to a Samaritan woman, who as a Jewish man he would have been expected to ignore. And she was on her sixth partner, too. It's an intriguing incident, but not why I used the picture. Like so many of Stephen's works it has beautiful lines and 'speaks'

Thanks for comment #2 - appreciated and mutual, even when I don't get round to commenting
