VERSES TO KENZAN-19 70
Today I have made a pot.

Long have I yearned and
worked to give myself to the clay in
love and freedom, and my striving has
granted me a beingness with that soil

peooeonoe today.

I have made a bowl........I have lifted
my belly to the universe in unfolding
supplication and spread my body, to
pray with an open face to the sky..eec.

I have made a vase and been filled
with the swelling one note music of
creation, and made big with the child
of my visions, and I have been small
at the top to hold that in.

I have made a cup and prepared to
drink from the waters of life,
and the fountain was not empty.

IT have made........to myself,
for myself.
with myself.
and I have lost myself

to find me

Today I made a pot.

Shirly J. Coan
