human is a shepherd of clay.

this said Heidegger

I can agree to an extent or an interpretation

joy and pleasure as well as pain and sorrow do not belong to us

they are formed from the clay that has held so many voices

recombined into the being we become this short span of life on this forever spinning planet

the hand that forms each new vessel takes up what is needed in consideration of this mix

not too much sorrow not too much pleasure a just right dose which we can carry

the memory of the clay living out through our steps on this green and blue globe

connection points de ja vus bring a glance toward someone or something this part of us

this clay of our emotions recognizing a earthiness in another that was once part of it

this wholeness we feel in recognition was meant to be

reach out grab hold wonder at least so that the clay can remember the place it was meant to be set

and the earth of which it was born

the wind the grass the deer the neighbor clayed portions of one whole

Soul
