Ethics shape decisions
As much as a potter shapes
the clay on her wheel
while it spins on the base
Morals wash against the clay
Smooth jagged edges of cirumstance
While formless clay becomes a vessel
To last a day or a life-time
Ethics shape our lives
Fired and dried
Glazed with experience
Held up by our mentors and teachers.
Ethics shape decisions
As much as a potter shapes
The clay on his wheel
While it spins….
“Every moment is a moment of decision, and every moment
turns us inexorably in the directon of the rest of our lives.”
~ Mary Balogh, Simply Perfect
