THE BOTTLE OF WINE
Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern
Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the
road.
As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the
Navajo woman if she would like a ride.
With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.
Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk
with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently
at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a
brown bag on the seat next to Sally.
'What's in the bag?' asked the old woman.
Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, 'It's a bottle of wine. I
got it for my husband.'
The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then
speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said:
'Good trade.....' |

"Always be sincere, even if you don't mean it. The presidency is

Think you have command over
your body? Try this....while sitting down, lift your right foot
off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this, draw
the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change
direction and there's nothing you can do about it. |

Willard Wigan is a "micro-miniaturist," an
artist known for creating some of the world's smallest sculptures. As
he and his work are described on his
web site:
Willard Wigan was born in Birmingham, England in 1957 and is the
creator of the smallest works of art on earth. From being a
traumatized and unrecognized dyslexic child, he is now emerging as the
most globally celebrated micro-miniaturist of all time and is
literally capable of turning a spec of dust into a vision of true
beauty.
Willard can create a masterpiece within the eye of a tiny sewing
needle, on the head of a pin, the tip of an eyelash or a grain of
sand. Some are many times smaller than the fullstop at the end of this
sentence.
Many are even smaller still, with some being completely invisible to
the naked eye yet, when viewed through high power magnification, the
effect on the viewer is truly mesmerizing. Willard, who is completely
self-taught has baffled medical science and been the subject of
discussions among micro-surgeons, nano-technologists and at
universities worldwide. His work is ground-breaking — partly
because of the astounding beauty of vision which challenges the belief
system of the mind and partly because it demonstrates that if one
person can create the impossible, we all have the potential to
transcend our own limiting beliefs about what we are capable of.
(Statue of Liberty in the eye of a needle)
He works in total solitude at a quiet retreat in Jersey mainly at
night when there is a greater sense of peace in the world and less
static electricity to interfere with the immeasurable precision and
tolerances required to create the pieces.
(Elvis on the head of a pin)
The smallest sculptures can only be measured in thousandths of an inch
which is why they can sit, very delicately, on a human hair three
thousandths of an inch thick. When working on this scale he slows his
heartbeat and his breathing dramatically through meditation and
attempts to harmonies his mind, body and soul with the Creator. He
then sculpts or paints at the centrepoint between heartbeats for total
stillness of hand. He likens this process to "trying to pass a pin
through a bubble without bursting it." His concentration is intense
when working like this and he feels mentally and physically drained at
the end of it.
(Boxing ring next to a match head)
Willard Wigan works with materials such as toothpicks, sugar crystals,
and grains of rice and sand, spending months meticulously carving his
materials into micro-figures like the ones displayed above. Additional
examples of this work can be viewed in the
"Art"
section of his web site, and an
exhibition
of his works is currently underway in Manchester, England.
