Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.
~Pueblo blessing

Back to school officially starts for me tomorrow. Just to distract myself a bit from all the preparations, I pulled out some clay. This was inspired by an attempt to make an "offering" for my dad at the zen temple in Toronto. I was going to make a bird but then when I got out my dad's favourite clay how-to book I remembered his fondness for the good ol' pinch pot. So that's what I've been working on in my not-so-spare time. Hope to see you in Consecon on a weekend later in September.

Such a hands on and ancient tradition you have brought forward
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of people over many millennium doing exactly that and then using the vessel in their daily life
