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.
