Ode to the Scrambler

I am in love with all things from THro Ceramics / Erica Williams. This mug, this tall corked beauty is one of her latest creations. Because I am sentimental and because I am smitten, I wrote this little verse capturing the sense of adventure that this cup manifests.

The Scrambler

This mug’s for the road

for solo journeys into the unknown

for friendship trips 

and everyday stories that have been there all along.

The Scrambler is tall

because answering the call of life

requires long sips,

soulful searches,

and wild-open hearts.

The cork stands for adventure,

from gravel roads

and screeching stops

to startling vistas

and keeping it hot.

When life beckons

– with all of its unconscionable difficulties

and glorious ease –

grab your Scrambler,

pour your brew,

cork your cup

and go.
