The urgings of the potter

molded, transformed
our form taking shape
the push, the tug, the calling out
the urgings of the potter
his will, his hands, his artistry
shaping us, preparing us
worthy vessels, out into
the kiln, the crucible
the challenges of the world
ever ready to repair, to heal
to renew our brokenness
there when we are chipped
shattered, able
to make us whole once more

giving us two creation stories
