I love to enter your world of whales and waves and unexpected underwater things on pots. And actually, far from noticing any grammatical blips, I enjoy your writing style. The content of your blog also has resonance as I too have stopped 'work' and given more time to ceramics - though my circumstances are different to yours in that I stopped because of a health failure and took up ceramics in my effort to get better. Something that was supposed to be an occasional hobby has now become a raging passion but I still have to wade my way through being a rank novice and making lumpen, graceless pots. Nothing like your graceful lines (the above is no exception). An exercise in humility, is potting, or so it seems!PP@pimpmybricks.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577065458576859725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766738036130037762.post-65324239531276120392012-04-14T14:28:41.540-07:002012-04-14T14:28:41.540-07:00wow, michael, you read my blog. well now I'm ...wow, michael, you read my blog. well now I'm feeling way good ;-) thanks.

It's motivating. I had some things prioritise themselves up over the blog, but I'd like to and keep thinking of more I have to do here. Thanks again for the good words !<br /><br />One thing, I hope you'll come back. I can't find your blog post about introverts. If you come back over - please post the link in the comments ! <br /><br />best!<br />lindaLinda Faheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659092543760868040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766738036130037762.post-40381796310643494112012-04-14T04:52:00.842-07:002012-04-14T04:52:00.842-07:00I just know you have more to blog about! If anythi...I just know you have more to blog about! If anything, what you have already shared demonstrates an intuitive and imaginative explorer who is not done evolving. And so I hope you also continue to blog about your discoveries. You obviously have a great deal to share!<br /><br />Coincidentally, I just put up a post on the introverted artist's life on my blog. It seems a lot of folks are talking about this issue. And it seems especially relevant for artists in a world where too much is expected of us in extrovert terms. And it seems that the distance of the internet is almost perfectly designed to allow introverts to 'socialize'. We can blog and share our interests without the overstimulation of a crowded room. We can meet new people and connect with them without triggering our need for escape to solitude.<br /><br />So I hope you continue blogging for at least another 500 posts! You add so much to this quiet community, and your virtual voice is a positive and keen contribution. Thanks for all you do! Keep up the good work!carter gillieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744265678233135968noreply@blogger.com
