TIMEKEEPER AND
TRUTHSEEKER BURNING BOWL
Timekeeper Burning Bowl
Sold.
This is the first burning bowl in my new series that I created. She is a bit smaller than the other two I featured in the last few posts. Small, but powerful. In case any of you have just come here for the first time, below is an explanation of what the burning bowl series is all about.
Unity Church has a special ceremony each New Year’s Eve. A large bowl is placed at the altar and each member of the church is asked to write down problems or vices they wish to annihilate from their lives.. It could be a wish to quit smoking or drinking. It might be a desire to loose weight or to quit any of a number of addictions. Each person places their list into the bowl and at midnight, the bowl is lit. Everyone watches as the fire burns away all the troubles.

Here is Timekeeper’s story:
"Timekeeper”
There were three doors in her life. The
Doors of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Yesterday appeared to be only an illusion,
Tomorrow a vision. Both were vague and
Nebulas. Today was a place she could not
bear to be. The choice was at hand. The
Voice of intuition began to speak to her and
Somehow she knew in her heart that all time
Is simultaneous..the first cry also being the
Last..for there is only now. By dealing with life
In the present, she could begin to remove
some of the scars of the past and thus change
Her future...with a renewed sense of the
Importance of now..and a recharged inner
Essence..she entered the door of today..where
A new world awaited her.

Timekeeper is “ 71/2"h x 4"“w x4"d. I created her with stoneware clay and fired her in the kiln. Her basin is stained glass. I used an old watch part to give her a steampunk look. I have priced her at $58.00
Truthseeker Burning Bowl
Here is another burning bowl I have just finished. Her name is Truthseeker. She is x 8"h x 4“d x 4“ w. I used a sparkly blue and crystal jangle for her and a bit of faux turquoise. She is a bit bigger than Timekeeper. She is $62.00.
TRUTHSEEKER
Her years of research were filled with aggravation
And disappointment. She searched for the answer
To many questions. “Why are we here..Why do we
Die..What purpose does our lives have here on
Earth?” They were questions many had asked before.
Finally, one day while she was meditating, the
Answers started to come to her. They came in the
Form of sentence upon sentence of words...words.
At first she couldn’t understand any of them.
Then it was as though the words had a life of their
Own. She became one with the words...She was
Speaking the words and then to her amazement,
The words were speaking her! They spoke of
The unity of all things, of the linkage we all have
With one another. She learned that she was the
Composer and the composed. The performance
And the performer. The sculptor and yet the
Clay. She learned she was everything..and as
These truths were unfolded..she knew she was on
The way to becoming a part of something much
Larger-much greater than she could have
Ever imagined before.
