My previous descriptions of
hand /finger position=20
vertical this, horizontal that..
are somewhat elementary.

To further that line of thought...
I find that the "form" reflects my=20
energy more completely when
I begin the motion with
wrists turned inward facing my "center"
at the base of the pot near my body
The vertical pull is blended into the horizontal
becoming a diagonal...
midway through the pull wrists are straight
and positioned to the center of the pot at 90 degrees square
The completion of the movement
ends with a flicking or full extension
of the wrists through digits or knuckles
penetrating the pot and into infinity.

The clay, like a photo developed
captures this movement for posterity.

Thats why the universal is timeless
and can transport a receptive observer
from any time, place or culture...
into a union beyond description.
Tuning forks vibrate.

Its all about being free...
awareness
