The bell on this piece did decide to crack during the firing which wasn't so disturbing for I can readily go in the way of "wabi sabi" in acceptance of its imperfection. (Thank you to this Japanese aesthetic leading to a justification of my folky, funky art.)
In coming up with the mantra, I have gone to the sacred writing of The Dhammapada, the teachings of the Buddha.
Where else to turn when wanting and needing inspiration on this pathway? The words that I played with come from Verse 10 and talks of how to respond to adversity. It is perfect timing for the cracked bell and this imperfect moment in my life.
