I wish I had a recording of today's session. There was so much meaningful stuff. After I did the sand tray we stood next to each other just looking at it, and talking about it, it just amazes me every time I do one (and it's been a very long time since I did one with her present!) that I am not really conscious of what I'm doing while I'm picking things off the shelves and arranging them in the sand tray, drawing in the sand, piling up the sand, whatever.... it's not like I'm consciously telling a story or anything. I just let it happen. But after it's done, and we step back and look at it and talk it over.... like, wow.

When we'd sat back down afterwards, I looked over at the shelves and said to the rest of the figures something like "You'll get your turn later." And she said what? I said pointing to the figures on the shelves, "they're chittering over there wanting their turn." She said yes, they do seem to be activated now, don't they? I love how she so 'gets' me.
