I was back, at Easter (1980), in the mountains, and a fellow was sawing up firewood. Now this was part of a walnut log… cut down 40 or 50 years ago… There was a limb going up through here about 10 feet long… I said, “Don’t cut that up for wood… I see something in this that I want to make… I see a pregnant woman… So I brought it home and began to look at it… the wood began to talk to me and tell me what it is…
So I will probably call this Behold My Miracle. That’s what the mother is saying,… “Behold me in the greatest moment of the miracle.
