Day in and day out

“Input” becomes “output” with our “spin on it.” (5)

“Yeah, that works.” (6)

Picture clay, moved by hands with something new in mind.

Picture a bowl that got its first job, right after being fired.

Did the original artist who made the first clay bowl, cite their sources, or

Did they rip off a dried-up pond they saw on a walk?

“I bet that concave void that used to hold water could scale. I think I see what I mean.” 

A town admires a maker.

A bent plate makes a scene; holding up

Divided water to-go.

Years go by and we forget how important our various holders are, or that we get to hold life at all.

“When reached, every longed-for ceiling becomes a common floor.” (8)

We settle into settings and compact plots. We take for granted

That which is closest.

“That?” (9)

Breathe

Deep.

Let silence speak. Let others speak … into reframing views

Restoring stories renewed.

Mail from a desk that’s miles away shows up in a back-lit box.

Loose-leaf rules, line by line, helping me sort out my spiral. A Legend speaks.

“I have to create things that I believe in, not just things I think others will like.” (10)

Thank you for forever.

Who we are makes matter matter.

As

It turns out

That moves makers

In sides

In time

In turn.

Every day

You and I

Take turns

Taking the lead

For better and/or for worse.

Parallel paths inspire

Inviting onlookers into integrating insights

Others have already gained on.

Copy that. Over and over and out.

Meaning motivates makers married to multiple motifs.

What we mix and make, speaks to viewers who

Follow.

This being true, is super suggestive

Suggesting that, me and you

Are models who

Are more or less good at looking.

“Look out!

Work it.

Work it.

Ok, good. Now, go ahead and pull your head out of the sand.

Toiler Alert: Wisdom comes with a ‘“grief” guarantee’ and understanding is linked to ‘increased pain.’” (11) (12)

“Holmberg. Holmberg?

How long have you been staring out

That window?”

You and I process potential … therefore we are

Super.

Possibly. Actually … it

Depends

As far as we can tell. As far as we can tell

This is you,

This is me,

Revealing a similarity … an inherent, generative identity

A sameness in time … serving as … a powerful core to share in.

Serve As.

“As” as in, to the same degree, amount, or extent — similarly and equally — in the manner (directed, agreed, promised.)(14)

Save As.

The creative process is a common ground that’s all ready and already here.

“I can’t get away from it … I was absolutely compelled from an early age.” (15)

“It carries me forward” (16)

As I go … “trying to do good and make a difference.” (17)

Dear, Ann and Anne, Nate and Nate, Larry and Montana. How do you do what you do?

“I read,

 I ate,

 I reached out to people I respected.” (18)

Thank you for forever.

A distant landscape begins to appear, drawing near

As

We draw near.

Here … a tiered-up stadium surrounds; made up of rounds, of great, great caretakers rising.

Side(s) Note: Hold

That thought

As far as the words Unity, Solidarity and Reciprocity go. (19) (20) (21)

As far as how far you hope those words go, show us your spin on what you think they stand for, in and on your purpose.

Likewise, Love

Wise. We are

More than we think we are

Within a future that’s near and now.

An acute power working in sides, persuades … leading us on to a coming of age, convincing us to question ourselves.

To what degree am I in the way, on the way

Helping hold up a renewal of things, not-yet-asked-about or imagined?

“Hold up. How is your definition of ‘hold up’ holding up … in that last set of lines? (Go through again.)”

A promising maker from your hometown

Sees the past anew

Through

A story line mulled over. A mix tape unrolls in the background.

A: “Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice?” (22)

B: “Wisdom has built her house” and “set the table.” (23) (24)

Taste and See: Let us “trust the wisdom of the still small voice.

I will not let fear drown her out. (25)

Reach out. Order

Up.

The creative process feeds who we are, while “making hope visible,” pouring over and over and out. (26)

A new day is already rising

To the degree

We

See

Good.

Feast your eyes on

The way

Desiring wisdom works.

Desiring wisdom works. Work it.

Walk and wonder. Reinvent the plate and make

Your dough, in light of the glow

That appears to appear when you share it.
