I believe in Kiln Gods.
It is the last thing I do before I light the Kiln.
Molding a form with clay, entrusting it to protect the work within.
It is like giving yourself up to the universe.
The Kiln God signifies that I am open to the possible.
Already I have done everything to the extent of my knowledge in the pursuit of a vision.
Aware of the unexpected, making room for the possible Divine intervention.
I assume responsibility for the things that I know.
The rest is why I get up in the morning.
