"...approached the Taj with a radiant smile, ready to experience great beauty. We were privileged to see the delicate semi-precious-stone floral inlays and lacey marble screen carvings through his sensitive fingertips, And to hear him describe what his fingers saw. I shut my eyes and let my fingers trace exquisite inlay patterns and follow the intricate carvings. I felt the power of enduring beauty created by craftsman centuries before and learned from Rodney a deeper way of seeing."
