I feel like this thing I'm doing, the clay thing, is a really...really..really long walk. (title drop!!!) Or a ladder. A really really tall ladder... to...where? To a place that doesn't exist. Nowhere.
Each pot, or kiln fired.. or whatever involved is a step I take in some direction, or a rung in the ladder I climb. One pot leads to the next. I can't really take any short cuts either. Getting to what I think is the end can't happen by skipping any steps.
I can't be good at glazing without messing up a lot of pots learning how to glaze.
....Or I can't become a good thrower without flopping cylinder after cylinder.
I can't get to step 5, without first going through steps 1, 2, 3 and 4.
I asked some friends today what it would be like to be in a room and see every pot or sculpture they've ever made in sequential order. Can you imagine? Maybe you've made thousands! ... Imagine the way you'd see the newest pot you've made at the end of that line and compare it some other pot, being able to touch it and hold it and see it up close. Hmm.. crazy I think.
So I'll keep on walking around I think. I'm glad I'm headed in a direction. Any direction is better than no direction.

ReplyDeletePlease Read.You have a great post here, Have anyone here know Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.For my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
ReplyDeleteUp to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr jekawo herbal doctor hands whom god has blessed with ancestral powers and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Hepatitis... So I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Jekawo herbal doctor Email: drjekawo@gmail.com if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because to be honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
