Description
I was deeply touched by the pope's death. Even though I am not religious, and definitely not catholic, I feel like the world lost a very good man. Since there aren't a lot of very good men, in positions of power, that is a loss deeply felt indeed.

I may not have agreed with all the things the pope thought were important, and some of his decisions were in my mind unwise, however he was still a very humble, and loving man who didn't allow the power of his position turn him to evil deeds. Similar to Frodo and the One Ring, he was able to keep from being corrupted by the power he held. He went out of his way to bring people of different faiths together, and although he held very strict levels of morals, he never seemed to condemn those who did not hold up to them. That's rare in anyone, but as a head of one of the largest religions on earth, it's even more rare in my opinion.

So not only have I been deeply grieved to see him pass on, I was also astounded to see so many on this planet also grieve so deeply for him. People of all faiths and countries of origin.

So I created a weeping willow tree, who is holding a rosary to signify the pope's passing. It was incredibly important for me to express my feelings on the past week's events.

He is sculpted from polymer clay and apoxie sculpt, and has african jade gemstone leaves.
