Potter and the Clay

A conversation between the Potter and the clay.

"Hello Potter. Before you decide to start, maybe it's a good idea to tell You what I'd like to be no? I would like to be a beautiful vase that can hold thousands of flowers and looks all pretty and nice for the world to see if that isn't too much to ask," says the clay. 

"Hello clay. Oh, I intend to make you stand out for the world to see," responded the Potter. "But it won't be for the purpose of the world's use, it'll be for mine."

interesting..

yesterday it was brought to my attention that I know more and am more interested in fashion than most of my girl friends.. yikes!


support letters full steam ahead! I smile the moment I lay my head down to sleep for I know I'm one day closer to returning to India. I smile the moment I wake up for I know one day has passed. 
I had a dream I was dancing to the VBS songs we taught the students @ St. Paul School in India and a feeling of overwhelming joy filled my heart.

For the entirety of my dream, I was explaining and describing the benefits of having the 75th Anniversary Sperry Top-Sider boater shoe.

wolverine's

Men's Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot done in watercolor. Such a nice boot to have that stands the test of time. Would go great with a filson field daypack. 

beginning

Hopefully this is the beginnings of a regular drawing/watercolor-ing hobby. Need the practice watercolor-ing as well as get back into architectural sketches.

healthy heart

thank you blue shield of california. I enjoy this email from you as a reminder to keep my heart healthy during the season of hearts. haha

ride

Elegant & Minimal yet enough power and torque to turn heads. Absolutely beautiful moto. For about 6,000-9,000 US dollars, well worth it I would say. Fully customizable option also available through another fabricator in Copenhagen. Time to save up :)
