currently unable to provide an adequate title for this blog I hope it is not misleading.
I am a great subscriber to the school of thought that suggests that it is always better to seek the sameness in people that are met through the course of ones day rather, that is, to seek the differences, in recognising the differences in others from oneself only proves to anlienate others, whereas to seek the sameness is to find friendships and knowledge; that nonetheless doesn't stop one enquiring over matters of life and interests for that is how we come to understand others.
I have always imagined that I am pretty much the same as everyone else, I think it comes under the terms of being seen to be normal and of being accepted, my journey now, this part of it at least, is about me understanding myself and, rather than to seek differences in others I delight in finding the differences about myself!
One of the wonderful parts about sharing information about oneself is that to actually hear the words about actions that to me seem mundane and general knowledge, in this simple action of imagining that everyone knows the same as me I am actually depriving others of information that, in some instances, be absolutely essential for the others own growth in terms of the knowledge bank , we all have one and it is this that must be filled in order to grow as a person, without knowledge we can not move on, improve, change and reach for goals.
the realisation of this prompts two actions, the first is to share, the second is for myself to seek out more knowledge, my ponderance now is simply, what do I learn about, art is my passtime, art is my work and art is my pleasure, I dont want to learn any more about art as part of the joy is discovery, of new materials, practice, skills or technique.
Oh well, another day over and a ponderance for the near future, learning, knowledge, pottery, glass art, perhaps it is time for me to return to explore sculpture, I met a most experienced sculptur called Peter Liddle some years ago who offered that I visit him some time, perhaps that time is iminent, watch this space!!!
kind regard to those reading this post and thankyou, I may even become interesting in the future.
