Yesterday I cleaned out my wardrobe and took out more than half of its contents. It was a project I had been putting off for about two years. I got rid of anything that was worn out, worn out, didn’t fit, or didn’t “spark the joy” as the standard by which we understood it when deciding whether to relinquish or retain possessions. Stepping back after a full day of elimination feels great. I have no intention of filling in the empty space left behind, I’ll just enjoy it for a bit.
Today I spent a few hours in clay class and it always makes me happy to be in the studio while I learn this new craft. It was a calming feeling to hear the soft rustle of a spinning wheel as I learned how to turn lumps of clay into beautiful vessels. I’m in a place now where I can focus and open and pull with more confidence. I’m still very much an amateur, but loving the process.
