Clay Art of Living
Within the vessel creates outer cracks or strength...
We are formed much like clay art molded by our genetics, past and current history and how much water we retain before we are glazed and blazed. Kneaded by external forces we are wedged and prepared to face the fire and how we are built up results in the strength of our physical vessel. Fired in the kiln of life, we are either strengthened or weakened depending on our reactions to the changes we experience. How we weather the tempest of living ultimately is dependent on what resides within ourselves and although affected by our earthenware our internal choices determine if we crack or hold ourselves in place.
