perspective
“Remember, you and your child
are travelers through infinite time.
How you interact is important
enough to change lifetimes of karma;
yet it is an insignificant drop in the
ocean of relationship through which
you both move.
Keep in mind the endless nature
of being, and your journey will
gain perspective.”
The Tao of Motherhood by Vimala McClure
On Mother's Day Weekend, several moms, grandmas and children came to Mud Lily to spend some time together making memories with clay. The project was simple pinch pots (although this imaginative group did anything but simple) however, the real objective of this workshop was to engage moms and kids -- side by side -- in trying something different while disconnecting from screens and reconnecting with family.
It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday, watching the creations come together from a lump of clay to planter full of underglaze, imagination and anticipation. Most of all, it was beautiful to see the interactions among generations.
