~Au-burn-ing Fluoresce Brown Terracottized- 'Tea'ing Soulfuel

There's no ill intention at all.

This reminds me of a few nights ago, I was standing on my back porch under the stars and noticed the moon reflected on the still surface of my tea. There was something tenuously mortal and celestially immortal about it. Thank you for your lovely letter Uma. Please feel free to write any time. I just wrote back to Rob. Injury recovery has been a slow and painful process, but all experiences are of value.

I love the way your work brings across such powerful dimensions, always. Opening with this image of the kiln fired clay, red and crackling as a bullet, you forge new neuron pathways in the brain, make alchemical connections, in a way no one else does. I've heard it said that genius is connecting from A to C, jumping right over B. For you it is more like A to Z, you have such a breadth and depth of awareness. You are well paired with Rob, who is also such an amazingly insightful person.

You also seem to talk about the truth and reality of the process of making, as opposed to so much that occurs in our societies that is brimming with falseness. You talk about how you center yourself in this living moment, this cup of tea. That is a grounded revelation.

It is always wonderful to experience your writing Uma. You and Rob are two of the few at my core of family here. Love and light to you.

Effortlessly capture the minutiae of everyday life in a poetic swash & buckle. As a kid, used to go 'bottling' with Dad. Taking trowel and spade to long gone spaces where industries once thrived. Never unearthed treasure, but many bottles et al.

British have an eccentric love affair with tea - as captured in the video ;) Late great comic Victoria Wood interviewing the man they call Moz. Love me xx
