By some miracle I cannot figure out, it was given to me to hear these voices, and all these examples of a human life were speaking, and when I listened carefully I could hear that they were speaking about speaking, and when I listen carefully to them speaking about speaking I could hear they were singing about listening. And that has been a long journey for me, of listening.

The same could be said for pottery
By some miracle I cannot figure out, it was given to me to see these shapes, and all these examples of a form were speaking, and when I listened carefully I could hear that they were speaking about speaking, and when I listen carefully to them speaking about speaking I could hear they were singing about listening. And that has been a long journey for me, of listening.
I continue to make pots because I have not yet seen what I have been listening to.
the kiln is 2000 degrees F
