Spot the Pot
Tangled in a stare

Forgive the noise in my photo :-/
My cd changer clicks as the next disk spins into place a pretty pleasant peaceful song starts to play. My once hot tea has now become as chilled as Autumns' brisk breeze blowing by one's exposed arms because they have forgotten their sweater. i feel the tingle of pins and needles in my legs as the blood rushes through them. i stare - - i stare at 2 rolls of film i stare at them as if the idea i want is going to jump out and scare me like one's friend does when they hide behind the door and suddenly give a startling "BOO"
i stare because i don't know where to start, i stare because i want to know what direction to go, i stare because i hate making decisions and i suppose i want it to make it for me.
i pick up the roll of fuji film i place it down on the carpet wondering how to build the next camera - do i make a mock up first? my mind tells me to dive right in, however the other part of me disagrees. For i know the clay srinks & changes, it has its own mind and therefor i must work with it and NOT just DEMAND what i think i want from it. i stare at that roll of film and try to imagine the wall around it, how it will work with it & what will keep it in place as i turn the piece of wood or metal that is in the center of it. i stare at the carpet even tho i don't see it. i don't see the different shades of brown and beige. i only see the image appearing in my mind to hold the film and what will make it unwind. What will be the take up chamber and how will i know how much to turn the knob so i may hide away the image that had just been captured.
i stare,
rabbit
