“It always seems impossible until it is done.” ~ Nelson Mandela

… yesss, it does … waiting for Covid19 to be done, but trying to be productive in the midst of it… not always easy, but also not impossible, I guess. 

This little Matcha Squeeze has been helping lately & it also works wonders with an additional shot of Vodka in the evening hours … Enjoy!                 Hopeful spring greetings … sandra

BOOK TIP:

“Centering In Pottery, Poetry, and the Person” by M.C. Richards

I read this book for the first time during my University years in 1994 and I am digging through it again in 2021 … I still love it 🙂

This was the first book I ever read which relates to what today would be called “mindfulness”, awareness of one’s state of mind & one’s choice of thought. M.C. Richards was certainly in touch with herself & unafraid to express her humanity in myriad ways.

Centering is a delightful meditation on life, whether you are a potter, a poet or just plain human.
