Centering clay centres my soul.
I open myself to flow toward that place where there is neither push nor pull and only the soft touch of all things in a perfectly
effortless
balance
What do you like to do to get in the flow/Get into balance?

I like to prepare my studio to begin new work.
First, I clean it well – I organize and I lay out what I will need to begin the process.
Everything has to be in place and ready for me to begin the process.
Once my hand begins the work, from the first moment, I am in balance and enter into timelessness.
Walks in the woods are good for getting me into balance. Writing and drawing can do that too, when they click nicely.
For me, music is first, then dances, aerobics, Zumba, I sing too, often, one of my poems I sang is call me, on my website, then so many things, which ever gets the time is accomplished including cooking, writing, poetry, photography, painting, when I had garden I used to do gardening too.
A quiet hour of writing will sink me softly into that place.
One thing that gets me in balance is painting. Everything fades away and I am immersed in what is on the canvas and what is going onto the canvas.
