As clay anchors a tree in light and wind - may your outer life grow from peace within ~ John O'Donohue
clay softens under the lightest pressure of warm moist hands
once fired, hardens into both a sight of beauty and something
useful for placing flowers in, or sipping hot sweet green tea out of
when we sip tea out of earthen clay vessels, we pause to appreciate
the origin of the solid shiny green mug & where the soft flowery herb
began to shoot its flowers, & grow towards the sunlight- as its gentle
sweet aroma floods our senses, we become grateful
for all things which need to grow and need to die
we grow towards the light of our present
relaxed in the knowing
the music that plays when we drink
shares our joy- wafting through the distant hills
