Quote
“Are any of us perfect?
I don’t think so.
I would rather like to see the spirit.
It’s the sparkle in the eye – the slight opening of the soul.”
Author
Gwen Weaver (July 22, 1950 – September 19, 2013) was a much loved American calligrapher and teacher who taught with gentleness, humour, patience and professionalism. Gwen’s “Weaver Writing” calligraphy hand has become a favourite of innumerable calligraphers such as artist Marilyn Lundstrom who calligraphed this Soul-Question quote using Gwen’s unique “Weaver Writing.”
