i think the key is keeping up.
don't get old, don't give up.
just keep current.

whatever is coming down the track,
it will be...and then get with it.

those that say.
`oh, my...it is too hard to cope with`.
well, they leave things to others.

i have no intention of doing that.
period.
and, you are the same...you keep current.

and, we can always go back, we can fire with wood,
sticks, make glaze in a can with no scale, or we can
use a thousand dollar digital scale, and do the calc on
a computer with calc software.
we have choices as potters.
i can make slabs or throw, i can
pinch or coil...i can build a bonfire and fire
in that, or make a kiln that will rival hank's.
we have choices.
and, never leave those choices to others.
