	A friend of mine was telling me, "Usually I just hold space for others," as if to downplay the importance of her role in bringing people together and making amazing events happen, and my immediate reaction was "don't say 'just' - if there is no cooking pot, no one gets rice"

	I find it is impossible to write poems with strong visuals being unable to summon line upon line like a natural poet who can casually detail sumptuous, evocative, and enviable I'm never able to rarify the poetic object that perfect choice from everything possible with double meaning metaphoric and charming to carry my message softly into a reader's heart

	Existing softly, subtly, and broadly, moving so slowly to the surface it may take many lifetimes, in absolutely no hurry to be revealed, considered, diminished, or understood, the insight concerning the persistent vessel drawings is only known to me as an ephemeral fog, never able to be grasped, but maybe, someday, to be engulfed by.

	After a day of teaching in Pennsylvania last week, I woke up and meandered home via I-81 North on a clear and sunny morning, beautiful mountains and valleys unfolding, occasionally crossing a patch of fog, and seeing just a hint of autumn color at altitude.

	I had a vision of ten unique vessels that resonated like the ten ox herding drawings, each vessel functioning on multiple levels simultaneously: first each vessel representing a step in a map of the creative process, then each corresponding to a stage on the path to awakening, finally all ten vessels carrying their creative function within each awakening stage, cycles within a cycle.
9.19.2017

	I saw myself holding curiosity, as a living vessel, singular in its concentrated form, yet inseparable and resonant
