All definitions of emptiness
are inverse.
I cannot say what it is, I can only say what it is not.
I cannot describe its essence, I can describe only its effects.
Although emptiness is nothing, not even a space,
it produces spaces.

On the 7th day we rest our hands and read our books.
I don't know what it is about Graham's poetry. Can only ever read a few lines and need to let them sink in. To think about them, to understand their strength and to get to know the insight.

I want to make a celadon but less murky one and maybe with less speckle. Probably not easy. This was woodfired 2yrs ago. Celadon to me always has been the colour of eternity. Replacing the element. I love that it is called element.

Cool in shadow
Sublimely unemphatic
Smiling of innocence

Quivering in light
Bend and break
In silence
This poem, like the paintings, is not really about nature. It is not
