Some might find it more than a little ironic that such a genius and true Renaissance man as Michelangelo would still be learning near the end of his life - he died at the age of 88 - but it was precisely his insatiable curiosity and desire to keep learning that made him the great artist, inventor, and engineer that he was. Think of how much poorer the world would be if he had refused to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel simply because he thought of himself primarily as a sculptor and didn’t want to stretch his talents. And, when you look at his great sculptures, such as the Pieta and the David, you can readily understand why he thought of himself primarily as a sculptor. But fortunately, he was willing to continue to learn and expand his knowledge and talents. The universe is inex haustible; there is no end to the writing of books or the acquisition of knowledge, or the mak ing of art. And while this thought should give us pause and even humble us, it should also equally excite and interest us. What a wonderful journey of exploration and adventure we are on! Keep learning. There is a whole universe out there just waiting to be discovered! A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise coun sel. New K.J.V.
