Stick Mugs & Non-Dual Kindness
Pottery taught me nothing truly breaks. Nothing truly holds—that's true for a simple mug, that's true for what we perceive as life
These are my stick-figure mugs. They look playful, childlike — but for me, they carry a deeper truth.
Every line is wobbly, imperfect, dual — just like life. So instead of chasing perfection, I allow kindness to guide the process. Because what really matters isn’t flawless shapes or outcomes, but how gently we treat ourselves along the way.
Clay collapses if I push too hard. Life does too. The only way forward is kindness — first toward ourselves, especially when, like me, chronic physical limitations shape our day.
When you hold one of these mugs, it’s more than coffee or tea. It’s a practice: to smile at imperfection, to meet yourself with kindness, and to remember that nothing is ever truly broken.
