Zen Cheetah Sits

Cheetah occupies my meditation chair, using my prayer shawl for warmth while I attend my clay workshop.

I am able to stay mindful while hand wedging colorants into 5 lb blocks of clay only for the first two. Wrists exhausted, I begin to think ahead during the third block, trying to figure out how to make this job easier so that I can last for all five blocks.

It took all of the workday to do this hand and back-breaking job, but our instructor wisely wowed us amidst the work with demonstrations of what we will be able to do with our blocks of colored clay once they are completed.  A most inspiring day!!!
