Poem Artwork

One jug is made

From a casting of brass,

Another is moulded

From a slurry of mud.

 

I let you look at both vessels

To say which one

Is firmer and can run longer

In the table serving.

 

If you wish to know

Why there're two different pieces,

You should know

That the trades are never the same.

 

If you use this simile

To test the cause of your life,

You will see the need to start

Your cultivating without delay.

I hope that by the end of my journey the quality of my product will be as refined and lasting as a jug made of mud.

Indeed, even when the cultivation has already started, it never really ends until life itself ends. Then it is all added up. The result, a beautiful, hand crafted piece of pottery (or perhaps a poem). John
