Tears Quotes
That a thing made by hand, the work and thought of a single craftsman, can endure much longer than its maker, through centuries in fact, can survive natural catastrophe, neglect, and even mistreatment, has always filled me with wonder.

The unknown life of the maker is evanescent in its brevity, but the work of his or her hands and heart remains.

There are stories told to him only at this time of year.
