New Beginnings

Sometimes when I am struggling in a new time,  I like to remember times before that were new... where there was nothing at first.

I decide to take a class in clay.  Every one else at the table is busy on their projects.  I sit with this hunk of clay in front of me, blank.   I pick it up and squish it around in my hands.  This is good, maybe just enough for today, I don't have to make any "thing". 
The teacher comes by " Clay drys out fast, you need to move fast"  How do I move fast?  What does that mean?   Something about her encouragement gives me permission to play.  Not take it so SERIOUSLY.    I separate the gob into a few gobs, and stick my finger in, to make a hollowness to build around, a pinchy here and here is sort of looking like a "someone".  That is enough!
No, there could be more maybe.  I see something in the next gob, a shoulder!  I build up, smush up the sides, poke here, scratch, maybe this ok.  I can do that again.  I am getting tired.  I  push and two more little beings emerge.  I don't know if they look like anything, but I am ok, I did it.  I made my first little clay people.

Are you making anything new in your life?  How is it going? 

I don't keep trackof the moon cycles although they are with us anyway, the energy is supposed to be helpful in cycling through creating and releasing.  \

Do you notice this in your life?
