A slow start to the year
This year I noticed how differently my pottery and therapy practices reveal themselves. Clay gives me something literal to hold — pieces made, classes taught, shelves filled. Therapy unfolds quietly, often without anything to “show” except a nervous system that breathes easier. One moment stays with me — a client finding and holding his small boy in parts work. No fixing, no strategy, just connection. These are the shifts that change a life, slowly and invisibly. Timelines belong to the body, not the calendar. If you haven’t reflected yet, perhaps your year starts now.
Some days are better than others
Some mornings unfold in unexpected ways. Today Arthur ended up with two breakfasts because I completely misread the clues my partner left behind. He was thrilled, of course, and as he melted at my feet, I realized that some days you just get a double. Tiny gifts like this appear quietly, and it’s worth noticing them when they do.
