Piece of Art

Down the stairs
Into the dark
The smell of clean dirt
Clay
The wheel spins
The shapeless mass takes shape
Her hands molding, pushing
A bowl?
A glass?
A piece of her soul
For all to gaze
She sets it down
Beside the rest
Of her soul
It looks the same
Yet, it stands out
As an individual
As a work of art

Written by my son, Jeremy Meyers, at the age of 16.  He gets me....

Some interesting links:

Gateway Beekeepers (click on local groups, King George) are a group of people interested in networking and learning more about the fascinating hobby of beekeeping.

Old Dominion Soap is a small business run by my friend Carole Kindel.  Carole makes wonderful olive oil soaps in small batches at her shop on the Northern Neck.  She has a great selection of shaving paraphenalia and gift sets as well.  Check out her website.


Fredericksburg, VA
is the closest large town to us and is a wonderful community full of great shops, restaurants, antiques and artists. 


Tom Gray
and his family were kind enough to take me in for two weeks many years ago while I "helped" in their studio and garnered invaluable information and inspiration from Tom's beautiful work.  Make sure you stop at his place if you're ever in the Seagrove, NC area.


Christine Lavin
is one of my favorite singer/songwriters and also helps to promote other great folk singers.  Check out my unique taste in music...
