We are at the level of objects
upon the tables white clay glistens and takes shape of a teapot,
freshly thrown and joined, round and stout.
Into its side, near the spout, the pouring out,
an inch thick broken mirror is pushed, is embedded.

Into a vessel, tall white, made of two flaring cylinders, side by side,
color is applied, by large overlap of song and sweets.

And always, the presence of panga*, quick cutting, cropping, chopping -
without her we can do nothing,
without her we cannot direct the eye, square ourselves off,
reveal the truth.

A fierce rush is a constant here, hands on clay,
faces unseen, feet carry us from one work surface to a waiting vessel.
This fierce rush is delightfully familiar, ancient,
a rush not against death but before death.
She is our partner here -
without her we can do nothing, create nothing, die nothing.
Clay pushes into my palms, I caress it back,
it tells me where it wants to go, who it will be,
whose altar it shall festoon, who it shall embody and worship.

Earth to bake, air to dry, fire to fire,
water to wash.
Add time and deities and vessels, cups and homes are born.

*Chapel of Sacred Mirrors!
 

 
the one who judges jewels  judges jewels out of the range of others sight....... it must be done in secret, that no one else can know the intrinsic value, thereby diminishing the actual value, which tends to make a jewel itself seem ordinary.....
to keep up the mystique
there are tools that the judge of jewels has to use.........
little hand tools,
glasses, tweezers,lenses,calipers, scales,........
and a strict set of guidelines to adhere to......
without them the judge has no frame of reference
and risks giving away the "secret".......
to be in the dark, to be quiet, to be without wind , or to be even under water....
these are the best conditions for the judge to do the judging....
never in view, and always out of sight......
the judge only delivers an opinion when paid in kind, and even then, doesn't relinquish
one bit of evidence of the original fire from whence it all began.......
the jewel that is!
