the hands recognize it
the mind understands it
the spirit welcomes it
connected as it is
back to the one land
and the one people
we have always needed water
and something to hold the water
we have always needed food
and something to hold the food
we have always decorated
the vessels that help us live
with the substance of our lives
intertwined
the essence of ceramics
is the history of humanity
no wonder there is familiarity
as I sit at the wheel
and shape the wet earth
and think of nothing
save form and substance
