These high fire clay pots hug one other.

Did you know that the average hug lasts just three seconds; But that if you hug for at least twenty seconds, a hormone called Oxytocin (a bonding and happiness hormone) is released for both huggers?  Oxytocin is primarily thought of in relation to childbirth and breastfeeding, but Oxytocin is good for us all:  It is a bonding hormone and promotes feeling of safety, relaxation and deep soulful connection.  It, quite literally, holds people together.

May these hugging pots be a reminder to us all to hug more often, and for longer!
