​Toto is (almost) 10 years old. One of his first names is Burdyszyk (bur-di-shik); invented from a Polish word, roughly meaning "moving with chaotic energy" which fitted him perfectly when he was a kitten. Now he tends to preserve his energy more, but he still enjoys to play and even fetch (only when he is in a mood, of course!).

 

* a note - while I am multilingual, I do not speak Polish, and only conduct therapy in English.  

I do have a deep love for complex stories and the nuances of different languages.
I am currently immersing myself in Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig). I love the joy of finding the exact right word for a feeling, even if that realisation comes a long time after the feeling has occurred.
