“What is the state of our moral being when Lloyd Blankfein taking a $9 million bonus is viewed as this great act of contrition, when every penny of it was a direct transfer from the taxpayer?” asks Eliot Spitzer…
A Moral Taxonomy:
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however to those who can look at the glass and say: ‘What’s up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don’t think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! ”

I hand painted pots in majolica, a low fire ancient Italian glazing method. My son threw the pots or I used commercial ones from a pottery supply place. I loved the process but mostly I loved the fire, the alchemy that transformed them. I would look threw the kiln peep hokes hoping top catch them in that moment when they become molten liquid.
When I opened the kiln I never knew what would come out after the fire god transformed them. At first I was accepting of what came out and viewed them all as separate from my preconceptions of creation. After awhile I wanted control, they were my creations out of my mind and hands and I wanted them to look like I had envisioned and painted. Yellow should be yellow, reds should not crawl.
I started breaking things, kiln loads of things that the fire had taken over and transformed with it’s wanton chemistry. I would stand on my back porch and gleefully smash them onto the cement driveway. It was so fun, it felt so good. Hours of my life smashed because I should not let go of my own ego and give it to the fire. I gave up painting pots after my son and I got a booth at Saturday Market and the pots became a product that I used to get money. I did not attach to them.
One Christmes eve when holiday market was over we put all the pots left in a pile in front of the booth and broke them all, smashed them into small pieces on the cement, the shoppers loved it. I no longer do ceramics but I miss the fire and the breaking things. Pots are so fun to break as they shatter and the noise is wonderful. I saved my favorite pieces and they are scattered in my garden.
… those who understand binary and those who do not.
