I am feeling the pull to post on here. Strange how this platform can feel like a responsibility. I definitely don't like the hold it has on me. Most days, it just feels like noise. Too much of everything on here.
It's just a point of view that comes from wanting more real life. Less screen.
(I've said all of that before.)
We reveal so much of ourselves on here. I am a part of it too. Some days, that makes me uncomfortable—as someone consuming it and feeding it.
Yet, here I am. Thinking about and wondering how all of you are.
I have had a busy summer. I stepped outside of my studio practice and have met new people. Potter people. Fired a couple kilns other than my own. Taught a firing workshop and am ready for another at the end of September.
I've grown some massive tomatoes and have only hand-watered 5 times. Weeds everywhere, but there is abundance in my harvests.
There has been very little rest, and I'd like some rest, but we have Earle, and Earle is keeping me keen on routine and structure. He's making me better and anxious all at the same time. He's a slow burn with the temperament of a clown.
I have begun production for my final fire of the year. And, for some reason, the colour pink is on my mind.
We are both happy and well. Life is golden.
So, there you have it, my contribution to this machine.
I hope it was worthy of your time.
