the gatherer

This is water storage pot number two in the orchard garden. The build took place over several months as time and weather permitted. 

New techniques and strategies were employed, skills were refined, areas of weakness were identified and strengthened. Creative and physical energies manifested something new and useful.

It was suggested that the pot be given a name (a Japanese name). 

Meet The Gatherer (Shūshū-sha)





 







 


















Some minor finish and touch-up work to do but, The Gatherer, Shūshū-sha, is functional and in service.

as we always have

it wasn't a chance meeting
that spring day
we always think it's the first time
but it never is
something in us knows
we've always found each other
and we always will 
once again we take the other's hand 
and continue
walking
homeward 
you and i
as we always have
