~ life as clay... . .

c   l   a   y ... .   .     .

the perfect malleable substance  ~

~ just   w a i t i n g

  for our warm and energized hands

to give it

l   i   f   e

a tangible expression
of... .

 u  s

yes.... .   .

this

c   l   a   y


is yet another

' m e t a p h o r '

for our own lives.

building and growing into a unique form

if we are so wise as to get out of the way

and let it reveal the

m  e  s  s  a  g  e

we strive a lifetime to find.

building a strong enough base

in which to support all the learnings & gatherings

that we pile on top

and make it through that

  h   o   t 

kiln firing without cracking.

finally stable enough

to balance the flourishes

that we so eagerly and enthusiastically

know are ours alone to display.

to feel it

 to offer up

 to see

who we are discovering

we have the

p  o  t  e  n  t  i  a  l

to become.

able to put our crowning

c  h  e  r  r  i  e  s

 on top ~

starting to stand tall in who we

discover ourselves to be~

and then... .   .

with what

 with whom

with which surroundings

 do we 

~   c  h  o  o  s  e   ~

 to stand with  ?
