Setting up an aquarium I was recently given, I noticed my peaceful feelings of contentment as I poured new water into the tank.

It was strangely akin to the calm, pleasant feelings evolved when pouring liquid clay (slip) into caramic molds years ago.

Pausing to consider the simple act of “pouring” something and the contentment, yet anticipation it evolved…and why.

I am creating as i pour..this time a new safe environment for the fishes i will purchase. In the past i was creating an object with a mold to shape it.

Or pouring batter onto a hot griddle to create pancakes for my children.

Or watering plants given to me by loved ones.

Comforting an ailing child, pouring love into their needed rest.

The simple act of pouring and the connection it has with creativity. Creating. Our Creator.

As we pour out… calm, contentment and peace pours into our very being.

Aaaaah…
