[Let the work continue till we're swallowed up by life] When we're unable to surrender what needs to be thrown into the fire, instead, we bury it (or end up buried ourselves), in our attempt to conceal it and avoid it. This won't work. We just can’t burry anything deep enough to ever hide it … Continue reading Excavation
Clay
