CRACKS IN TEAPOTS AND LIMINAL SPACES
Ah but cracks in teapots or otherwise are liminal spaces inhabited by who knows what. Did you ever avoid the cracks in the pavements when you were a child? Was a bear going to grab you if you did. My Mother always said ‘look where you are going, pick your feet up’, because I was always falling over. She was right – I didn’t pick my feet up or look where I was going and now have a fractured ankle.
But maybe then as now, I was looking out for the cracks, the liminal spaces, maybe I was traversing a terrain inside my head that is full of liminal spaces, full of potentials that I could pursue. Yes, I think those are the ‘bears’ and they are big and amazing and it’s full of risks but that is what my practice is all about here on the margins.
