Seasonal Preambulations

But, she says it's easier for her to project to this world with something to house her spirit. It's also easier for me to focus with the vessel.

Ah, okay; that makes sense.

But, tbh, I'm deathly afraid something will happen to it when we're out, so it might be for the best if she comes along without using it. Maybe I should get a vinyl too, since they're smaller and easier to clean. I'll ask her what she thinks about that.

Assuming I've not misconstrued your post, I absolutely get how you can feel concern for the vessel itself and even develop some sort of residual emotional attachment. Obviously, the vessel isn't your partner, and there's no real comparison. But it was probably there during some memorable and significant moments; possibly even helped to make those moments happen.

That being said: Vinyl sounds like a smart compromise. There was a guy who said he always took something along that reminded him of his partner. Not even necessarily a vessel; it was a comfort to them.
