Pottery by Osa

I actually don’t celebrate #Kwanzaa but I happened to go to a Kwanzaa celebration back in December and noticed the ceremonial goblet that is placed on a table along with candles, food, and other offerings. I decided to make my own versions of the Kwanzaa Unity Cup, which symbolizes togetherness. Now more than ever I’m feeling the importance & comfort of gathering with friends & community, which I have to balance with my introverted nature that also loves being alone.

Three unfired clay goblets, each a bit larger and rounder than a wine glass. The color of the clay is brown (what potters wold call red clay.) One cup is in the foreground, the other two are close behind, all three forming a triangle. They are decorated with carved geometric patterns including diamonds, lines & raised dots. The photo is square and the cups are sitting on a wooden shelf with a light blue wall in the background.

"Imani (Faith)", the seventh tenet of Kwanzaa, on the 7th and final day.

(Something I imagine we could all use now.)

"To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle." "The ancient Egyptian double symbol of the ankh (life) and djed pillar (stability, endurance) serves here as a symbol of steadfastness in commitment to the Goodness, the Right, and the Beautiful in life"

OUR COMMON GROUND

Imani is the seventh and final day of Kwanzaa, and it means "faith" in Swahili. It's a day to celebrate faith in oneself, others, and the struggle for a better world. Imani is also a time to honor family and community traditions, reaffirm self-worth, and triumph over struggle.

A journey continued:

Though the rail has been hidden...winter's clouds cover...autumn's exuberant quilt...we must provide our own guideposts...

I have heard ...from previous visitors...that the road washes out sometimes... passengers are compelled...to continue groping...or turn back...I am not afraid

I am not afraid...of rough spots...or lonely times...I don't fear the success of this endeavor...I am Ra...

Today is the 6th day of Kwanzaa and the principle is Kuumba, creativity. Nikki Giovanni's been in my thoughts so I'm posting something from her because she was the embodiment of the creative mind and the piece also speaks to where we are now. It will run 2 more posts probably.

A Journey

It's a journey...that I propose....I am not the guide...not technical assistant...I will be your fellow passenger
