On the way home from a journey to the coastthe evening before the Spring Equinox
I noted the moon in the sky
a golden bowl drifting slowly down to the horizon
while contemplating the absolute beauty of that
I remembered my time with the Pueblo Indians
who called this manifestation of the moon
'The Receiver'
(which set me off on the path to making bowls)
The next morning I noted the evidenceof the bowl spilling its gold into the landscape
"The Best Is Yet To Come........"
Hello again. What a beautiful analogy between, the moon, the field and your pottery-- the connection between nature and your inspiration for your work-- your bowls.
ReplyDeletethe connections from one step to the next

i was gazing up at that same moon
from the back paddock
in the cold still twilight
Hello Petrus, I'm a fellow countryman, but I landed in Los Angeles (for study reasons). When reading some of your resume, I thought the Dutch educational system was so narrow back then (I don't know how it is right now, since I've lived her for more than 20 years), and I'm sad you had to do this all by your own initiative. But you did it!!
ReplyDeleteI am a painter now, and blog at blogger - look me up sometime- een prettige dag toegewenst!
Hello Petrus,
