Bricks

We just keep gathering bricks wherever we can find them. Bricks to build with. Like Pablo and his Kiln. Where he makes the most beautiful pottery, right there in Yocona Mississippi, where me and my family lived for 11 years. He uses the red clay soil for his art. He gathered hundreds of bricks without the help of any one. In obscurity he saw the Kiln, the barn..and one plank and brick at a time, he built it. He raises his own food..chickens, goats, a garden so brilliant it makes you feel good just looking at it.  He inspired Jeff and me to keep gathering our bricks to build this thing we dream of. The Wineskins is our dream..our Kiln....from it comes songs, sounds, images..our pottery is our music. And no one is going to help us. No music business person will get this music..they are not going to help us build this. No one else sees this and no one else wills this, just the two of us. Jeff and I see it, and it gets clearer every day. And one day, we will find the way to get this music to folks..and when it happens, we will all be glad we did.    k
