I keep this brief. I had not belief of sorts that holding objects had power within themselves. Until I held the D adze of Duane Pasco that Loren White handed off to my friend Adam and the moment I worked it into the wood. I felt some place of knowing the work in it’s hand.
I could hold it for an hour but not something I could endure with thoughts of who they are in that.
positive and negative
however far I travel, the tools I need are in a doctors bag. reshaped from old saws. Lessons of my first mentor and extension of who they were and are. I want someday to make moving pictures of this work and this thing I saw from Duane is in my head that won’t leave me until it becomes known.
to work with something I did not make is in my head to play another players guitar. I love Duane and Loren but it would be weight so heavy in me. I want to know them as their own rock star elements. The time they have been and who I am now. My reflection of what I learn is the adze of what I have to work with as a branch extending.
What is dead can never die.
however things go. I will use what I have to see the work through as long as I can.
