Never Turn Away

By Tony Humbleyard 2026

Never turn Away - Liveart Ireland Residency 14 days of walking slowly / carrying an empty bowl / listening through the soles of the feet / the practice of repetition / this moment and this moment and this moment / the granular sense of time in the body / to be present in our own lives / there is nothing to understand.... - The soles of the feet have over 200,000 nerve receptors. - Repetition drives neuroplasticity the brains ability to rewire itself. Consistent practice of a new skill, thought or movement strengthens synaptic connections between neurons, turning temporary functional changes into permanent structural pathways.
