Discovering what wants to emerge and giving it life

 

The thrill and trepidation of beginning.  Butterflies.  Like fully immersing warm, wet hands into the brilliant burnt hues of a cool slab of clay.  Excitement.  Everything's possible yet nothing's easy.  The right shape doesn't reveal itself so quickly.  You notice your breath.  You use more muscle.  You try harder.  Kneading the raw material of your dreams, it's only a little more supple than before.  Still, no form.  You wonder if you really want to do this.  If you actually can.  It's much messier than you thought.  And what you've imagined seems so far from this reality.  You pause to struggle with faith.  But only for a moment.
