Sometimes life slows down a bit.

I found out about a month ago that I have cervical spinal stenosis, which had left me in enough pain and numbness to finally see a doctor. I knew I was having trouble with throwing pots, and tried throwing smaller pieces, but the whole process was getting to be too much. I am taking a break, and my blog, which has been sporadic at best anyway, will be either focused on other activities-- or maybe I will finally catch up with photographing my work.

I am reminded more and more of Chuck Close's comment, after his paralysis, to the effect that we are all just temporarily abled. Yep.
