the hammer
the horseshoe
the iron
the heat
the barrel
the water
the rushing
release
the strain
the brow
the eyes
the sweating
the lungs
the breath
the mind
forgetting
the work
the wife
the home
the pride
the grip
the apron
the leather
the life.
When I am doing my wood carving all these things vanish from my thoughts like this blacksmith and all is focused on the knife, the wood and the carving cuts. This small encapsulated world is absolute freedom.
