Creating

Lately I feel full of ideas and short on ways to bring them to life.

My mind wants to make things. My body keeps reminding me that it cannot keep up.

I want to bake sourdough, feel the dough come alive in my hands. But standing long enough to mix it is too much. Even washing the jars feels impossible.

I want to work with clay, feel its cool weight steady me. But everything I need waits in the garage, out of reach for now.

I want to paint, lose myself in color. But keeping my foot elevated turns every position into a compromise.

And still, the urge to create rises every day. So I am learning to make something small. A few lines in a notebook. A quick splash of color. A moment of making that reminds me I am still myself, even in this season of limits.

I cannot do everything I want to do. But I can do something. And something is enough. ….for now.
