Sometimes I'll take a ball of clay and sit down at the wheel without a thought of what we will become; in my heart I know it's not the product but the act that brings me back to who I am. To live, to be more than the drying sweat of some old tired mountain, clay must be touched with intent, joined with as a friend in search of shared pleasure, it cannot be taken by force; it will not respond to an uncaring stranger grabbing a casual thrill. ©2003 by icebox |

Oh, Mr. Icebox, It is the process, not the final product that brings us back to who we are. I find the same thing with writing. If in the process we attempt to take the clay by force rather than allowing it form and develop in our hands, we end up with less than the desired result. I hope I got it!  Patricia |

I took this as our need to handle our love and any relationship with special care. It shouldn't be treated as something casual, but something to be treasured and taken care of....treated as precious.

icebox I have a feeling, that with your sensitive touch to the clay, something beautiful awakens. |
