nothing beside remains, save the undone years pieces of time and being that lay on the floor like so many shards of kiln-fired porcelain waiting to be swept up by the potter and remade once again from the same unknown form a form that looks the same from the outside but yet yields different figurines with each firing some are set over on the shelves to be kept and shown like priceless works of art for eyes yet unseen and others are set back in storage to be held and cared for by hands that know only love, hands that know only peace but there comes a time where room must be made room for new figurines, to be held and looked upon by new eyes and by new hands in new times and new places so these time-worn and well-cared-for pieces must be cast aside some are gently broken, piece by time-infused piece and others are shattered, thrown against the walls and floor for they all mean different things to the potter, the creator then, those pieces are taken and used again used again to recreate the same forms with differet styles so that the newest figurines will always have as part of them pieces of the older ones, pieces that always make themselves known some silently, others in much more forward ways but, always there, always known in the heart of the figure and, when the figurines are turned over and the potter's signature can be seen by all that is when we realize that we are all figurines of life people of the kiln works of art, created by the same hands to be admired, and to admire -------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.

 (smiles) Yes, yes, we are all crafted equally among the hands of God and our hearts are not greenware but rather leather-soft, always like a sponge working to soak up love and compassion and share it among one another with joy! (big hugggssssss) This is a fine work of art, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Sven, I'd never thought of it all that way. You bring such perspective to my eyes sometimes! Indeed we are all figurines. |

Hmm..I get a lot out of this, Sven Pen. Its very serious and it is it just me or is your style changing just a bit..or..would that be your tone? *sigh* Sorry..I'm not one for expressing what I'm trying to say lately. Hope you understand. Enjoyed this very much, my friend.  How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |
