Intense love of a craftsman
Calistus was a man of wisdom who had only one love, he was always correcting some of his friends who claimed that falling in love with something would only make them weak.
On the day the Iroko tree that was situated in the town square fell, everyone was shocked because it was something that cannot be predicted to happen even in the near future.
All the community members went out to take photos of the fall of the Iroko tree to be able to show what happened in their community to their friends, colleagues and also some of their relatives who stayed abroad but Calistus did not do it that way, he went there with his drawing tools and began to shade the falling Iroko tree.
He put all his drawing up for sale, and people bought it because they were beautiful, Calistus's love was his passion for drawing, some of his friends who never had a particular thing to stick to, used to see what he did as a waste of time, but Calistus always tells them to be interested in only one thing, and also tells them to stop going from one hobby to another.
He told his friends this because he loved them and wanted better things for them. As time went on, Calistus grew into his skill as an artist and people began to know him for what he can do.
It was one fateful day when he drew a beautiful girl whose name was Josephine, people claim that Josephine was his secret love, that's why he can draw her so well, but Calistus never said anything about who was the girl he drew, he drew her while she came back from the creek and was holding a water pitcher, full of water that she fetched from the creek for the family.
Calistus was on the side of the road, he was a very fast draftsman, People's called him a visualization artist, because he was such that once he sees you, he would capture your every move and start drawing everything he sees in you even as you have passed by.
The drawing he made of Josephine was unique and Peoples recognizes him for that great work, the day he was interviewed to explain his idea as an artist, Calistus revealed that he is not the best artist but he is the best for himself because he stick to what he likes to draw.
He cleared the air that continuous effort is the word that can generally describe his success as an artist, he let it be known that as an artist, one must stay focused and not get distracted unless one is in that category of artist that draw with noise in the middle ambient, he pointed out these characteristics, saying that artist like that still exists which can draw with sound in the environment.
He called the love he had for drawing "an intense love", which is the kind of love that cannot be expressed or seen, but he can feel it within his heart.
