Open your hearts to love
I ain't writing much these days. I ain't making too many pots either. It seems everyone is feeling pretty sensitive and I get it. All this uncertainty around us is unnerving. I have friends that meditate to clear their minds and souls of all this crazy nonsense that has taken over what used to be our lives.
I don't sit still well unless of course I writing or making pots. My mind is always thinking. I think there are different ways to meditate for different people. Meditation could be watching TV for some people. You step out of your mind and world into someone else's. I do meditation riding my bike each morning for 30K. I have a perfect record this month which means not skipping a beat- 30k every day. Sometimes I sing out made up words that sound Russian. It is just me wanting to express my pleasure to the world. Yesterday for the first time I had a friend along for company and we did 35k and I didn't know the time had slipped away. Riding, talking, breathing, sweating, moving, and far removed from Covid 19. Although I thought it weird that a rider passed us going the other way and pulled up his mask as if we might sneeze on him.
Potters think they are physical. They mostly are not. You need to exercise and make it part of your life. I now need it like I need a cup of coffee first thing in the morning. What I love about my Apple watch is that it has become my life coach. It reminds me I haven't fulfilled my exercise rings. The guilt inspires me to do it.
In addition to the exercise I have been listening to Coleman Bark's translations of 13th Century poet Rumi. I listen while making breakfast. This too is meditation of the best kind. He makes me think. I know that comes as surprise to many of you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxzGh4eD-yc&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1yAL9Y2NmFSX0k9E2uo14gLD7dXTq9Ujie69UfEWVssUYHFE4ILDUaKX8
Here are a couple of pots I made that I love. Look longest at what you don't like. It is from that which you will learn the most.

CANADA
If you plan on going to live to another country, but don’t want to travel that far, then Canada is your best option. Canada is the perfect choice if you enjoy peace and tranquility.
Many parts of Canada are similar to the United States (albeit colder), so you won’t be feeling homesick living in a friendly English or French speaking country.
Imaginary friends (also known as pretend friends, invisible friends or made-up friends) are a psychological and social phenomenon where a friendship or other interpersonal relationship takes place in the imagination rather than external physical reality. Although they may seem very real to their creators
Adults in early historic times had entities such as household gods and guardian angels, and muses that functioned as imaginary companions to provide comfort, guidance and inspiration for creative work.
I could use a muse or guardian angel right about now.

Something stinks in Montreal, and party goers can’t get enough of the smell. Thanks to cutting edge — or is that cheese — research from the University of Devon, fart parties are now a thing. They exist and they’re ridiculously popular.
It all started when Devon researchers noticed the health properties of hydrogen sulphide, the key ingredient to smelly gas. “Hydrogen sulphide is the new corral calcium, it’s the next big thing on the health market,” says lead researcher Dr. Granpu Pett.
“The question isn’t what can it help with, it’s what can’t it help with! It rejuvenates the skin, it helps you sleep, it revitalizes mitochondria and even reverses cellular aging. And yes, the best way to benefit from the healing properties of hydrogen sulphide are by inhaling it’s fumes, so flatulence therapy is medically sound."
Not only is it medically sound, it’s also highly profitable. “We’ve been going gang buster business since we started organizing our first fart parties,” says club owner Leo Goudreau. “People thing the entire event is hilarious, and the light hearted if smelly atmosphere really brings people together. It turns out that the easiest way to break the ice with someone is by breaking wind. Who would have guessed?"
Jason Minks, a hardcore fart party fan, says the experience is out of this world. “Fart parties are basically raves with all you can eat gas inducing buffets. You’ve got lentils, beans, dairy, corn, all sorts of farty foods. The brilliant thing about fart parties is that even if you don’t want to shake your ass on the dance floor, it’s going to happen anyways. Even if your brain doesn’t want to move, your stomach will."
Not everyone is convinced that fart parties are medically sound. “I’m not convinced that being in a room full of people farting in your face is going to improve your health,” says Dr. Leonard Smidtt. “But, y’know, as far as weird medical fads go, it seems fairly harmless."
