Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing

Artisan

is a person skilled in an applied art; a craftsperson. Now its defined watch, embrace, breath in.

Many people wonder through life either associated with or working with someone who is a true craftsman. Those with the uncanny ability to create an item breathtaking or astounding out of something common to most. How many items do you expertly look at with a keen eye for detail? Do you walk through life with capability to notice detail? Or is life already a painted canvas for you just to move from point A to B with blind eye? Is ingenuity a practice of yours?

If not is grasping on to the coat tails the out? Taking a glimpse into one's self how often do we embrace a craft enough to make it a lifestyle? Who takes the step outside that 'security blanket' to make something we breath in an object of desire for others to want. How does the first step go towards that skill? Could be something genetic? A gift from the true artisan to the layman? Uncanny is the ability of novice to pick up the true aspects of the art of the master.

In your life who has created something that has made you step back, look from top to bottom, inspecting every detail with an eagle eye? Were you so impressed that you wanted to replicate that object? Find the master behind it? Consider what the physical embrace to construct ah inspiring article would be?
