Her Creation is Her Home

The ideal domestic worker is an artist
and her creation is her home.

The artist takes what materials he has and manipulates them, 

but the goal is not just to create something interesting,

but to express a vision of love and beauty.

Even Michelangelo worked with the most banal of materials and ordinary techniques. 

All was imbued with imagination and vision.

It may seem ridiculous to compare a humble home
filled with love and simple beauty

to the Sistine Chapel. 

But, they are the same in that they are both works of artistry

and express first and foremost the human soul.
