These are our greatest teachers
these hands may bind and sew but it is not I that knows
these small creations I tie up every morning know more than i
theres wisdom beneath the lines
between them, much more
wrinkled fingers push against the sugar paper
flopping, refusing to be folded
thats the way for this paper trail
it leads long before you and i sat eye to eye, put hands on trees and saw potential
i am a student to every book i make
they slow i down
they teach i
patience, precision, practice
much much similar to those kids in paris through 88 to 89
the greatest teachers leave their marks but how many left none.
For the most beautiful of books I make I see no fingerprints but one
good or bad
i assure you, no
i know neither love nor hate for these books of ours
they tear i apart and build up i
goosebumps and tears is the best way of summary
“we’ll be back”
the book lover shouts from the window
The silence remembers
These are our greatest teachers
