I think we have found a solution to this dearth of blogging. Every time someone sends a comment and I allow it, I find myself on the page that asks me if I want to blog -otherwise I can't remember how to get there.
Another hindrance -concern for careful spelling and well crafted work -that's over. I don't hhave to do that every time.
OK then -what's a wonder today.
Got one.
Little children of 2 1/2 or 3 can be delighted by all they encounter in the world. A charming little tyke Josie came to the Cob Studio today with her dad. Dad was trimming pots and putting handles on mugs and Josie was in heaven using what she was hearing and seeing and making up simple non-invasive fun where ever she turned.
Another clay worker did just what I had to wrestle myself not to do. She engaged Josie and quickly became the object of Josie's polite but demanding attention.
Why do we grown ups think that we have to teach tiny people so vigilantly? Paradise reigned when we were all engaged by the object of our interest. Flow was smooth, energy was well balanced, each of us was at peace.
Keep the peace by trusting the wisdom of what you can see if you are not trying to do what you think is expected of you.

Two days running! SIL is so happy and pleased. Keep up the good work.
You are a born teacher, Cara!

I would love to comment every time you blog, but I would also be happy to set up your computer to do the remembering for you! We are enjoying the snow, too!
I'm so happy I came to see if you'd been writing! (and I can't resist commenting again) I'm going to have to think about your last line...I'm having trouble doing what is expected of me (like what I might be doing if I weren't writing to you). I do miss seeing you, love, S
