The process matters just as much as the outcome. Whether it’s healing, creating, or simply living day to day — how we get there shapes what we build, who we become, and how deeply it all resonates.
During a creative workshop using clay I attended last week, I couldn't create anything. I simply had no idea what to make and even then, I knew I would not be happy with my piece. So I did nothing.
I waited, hoping inspiration would come, but it didn't. So I held, squashed and moved the clay. I noticed how it felt in my hands, the temperature, texture, smell.… and my hands kept moving.
I realised I wanted to feel comfortable. I was surrounded by others who were all busy creating according to the instructions, but I just sat that there, observing and moving the clay until I found a position I could relax in. I remained still for a while and realised, that was my creation.
