just Monday
I bought a "new" very similar to that in Isoda's painting
black tea pot and two white Japanese tea cups
(made in China) at the Value Village
I also got a metal whisk (to whisk the tea) &
a "new" pair of shorts very stylish only the button missing...
now, with a second tea cup, and something to wear, I am ready for a visitor... I hope that she is, alo, like the lady in the painting : 'dressed to the nines'
all of the above cost $2.50 (the tea pot lid has a chip
on it s lip ... perfect
like the rest of your today"s..
enjoyed
two nice poems. great job picking the photos, they go perfectly with the haiku.
Ed:
The perfect little chip, with time to sew a button, whisk tea ... and live.

Thanks, Tom.
Greg:
Thanks for the kind words - I do put in some time trying to dovetail work and image.
Don
yes that "perfect" flaw/chip in the tea pot
like the accidental splatter of paint (ink) on a sheet ...
gives an essence/meaning to this
Perfect Life that we live
that goes far beyond all of the Bull Shit that we are fed !
for a 'good' read go into Soetsu Yanagi's chapter:
The Beauty of Irregularity in his
The Unknown Crafstman
now ?
back into the process of
writing (my):
Poems Of An Urban Hermit
I think that that just might be the title;
not Perfect, but what is ?
Like the worn marble steps, beveled in the middle after 125, at the main Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, who all walked there, the many souls - Cather, Wilson, old Andrew himself, the robber baron - and the poor, just trying to get by with a simple book and a little warmth.
I think of them everyday as I wear them down myself ... that little chip in the teacup ...
