I am
kiln sitting again. I have been doing
this for 36 years, early mornings, late nights and even an occasional
overnight. It has become for me a
ritual, a time when I am fully engaged in meaning, God is present, fire roars
like a holy whisper, the fundamental elements are being tinkered with, the
Ancient Holy Text is being read, I am alone physically but very much adjoined
spiritually. Ritual is something I have
long sought, guided my family into and continue to make it a part of my daily
life. Ritual is where we are given the
opportunity to align our living with the Spiritual/spiritual as a method of
heightening or experiencing meaning. Art
making is the way I have found to make my daily life an act of ritual. Involving The Specific Divine One in the
process has exponentially increased my being able to quietly be in a regular
state of reverential activity.
The witness that lots of carbon is being introduced into the clay body to enable Ox-Blood Red to develop. Fire is a great witness of Reverential activity. |
