Instrument

A single letter requires us to distil in it all the energy it contains, as if we were carving out its meaning. When the sacred texts are written, they contain the soul of the man who served as an instrument to spread them throughout the world. And that doesn't apply only to sacred texts, but to every mark we place on paper. Because the hand that draws each line reflects the soul of the person making that line.
