He needs your hand by Paulo Coelho

He needs your hand by Paulo Coelho

Picture
Illustration by Ken Crane



Master and disciple are walking through the deserts of Arabia. The Master uses each moment of the journey to teach his disciple about faith.
“Entrust your things to God,” he said. “Because He never abandons His children.”

When they camped down at night, the Master asked the disciple to tie the horses to a nearby rock.
The disciple went over to the rock, but then remembered what he had learned that afternoon. “The Master must be testing me. The truth is that I should entrust the horses to God.”
And he left the horses loose.

In the morning he discovered that the animals had run off. Indignant, he sought out the Master.
“You know nothing about God! Yesterday I learned that I should trust blindly in Providence, so I gave the horses to Him to guard, and the animals have disappeared!”

“God wanted to look after the horses,” answered the Master. “But at that moment he needed your hands to tie them up and you did not lend them to Him.”

This reminds me of a saying. That god could not be everywhere at once, so he created mothers.
Helping hands, yes.

Like angels working through us.

Thankyou, Love,

Ken,

how do you do your illustrations?

those skies are always sooo deep.
then, on the illustration with the mountains; this is how mountains look when it is a hot day, and they may be even a little bit further away.

Katie,

As for the sky and mountain, first I draw it with colour pencil,
scan the picture, and change the colour with Photoshop.

Thanks Ken for the information. both techniques together produce a beautiful atmosphere.
always a lot to discover on your drawings. I think, I will try to print some of your illustrations and send as christmas cards, if you do not mind!
