This is called "Childlike Enthusiasm."
"It is not sophisticated technique or exact skill,
but childlike enthusiasm, timeless concentration,
and pure devotion that feeds this clay to life for me.
Knowing this as my hands work slower than my desire
to create, feeling this on frigid winter mornings
when Clay spirits are cold, and so am I.
Laughing in JC Penney's when I noticed
there is still clay stubbornly stuck under my fingernails
as I pass free manicure displays.
Dreaming up new shapes and stories for brown earth
and me as I secretly call myself Mud Woman.
Indulging in limitless possibilities,
limitless creative possibilities, how lucky
I am to know this clay."
