I love to reminisce on these places- that hold so much memory and imprints of life. They can have so much to say. I think it always comes down to intention, because even in these vibrant and real places, without it, we miss the magic. ✨

So well said Kaitlyn. I agree wholeheartedly, it does come down to intention - no matter what space or dimension we are inhabiting. I used to think there was something less-real about certain places or ways of being, but really it's all permeated by the magic of life - and it can be easy to miss if we don't know to look for it. Thanks for reading, and your comment.

Excellent essay, Emma. I like the description of the cobbler's shop and the interaction. I too wonder and worry sometimes about the digital age and effects it has and will have on artisans.

Thanks so much Neil, for reading and your comment. Sometimes, when I worry about what might be lost, I think that there we always be those of us who appreciate skill that comes from hands and hearts - the art may itself be transformed, but that we can create and share that creation, I believe, will remain.
