I love making things and learning how things are made. Right now I am making sourdough baguettes. They contain:
- Flour (didn’t grind my own, but I have before)
- Water
- Salt
- Starter (leftover from last batch)
The simplicity of it blows me away every time. Throw the ingredients together, knead, let it bubble up and apply heat and the result is something far different than the ingredients I started with.
Knitting is similar. Start with fiber – sheep, llama, dog, cotton – spin the fiber into yarn, dye it, knit it and you have transformed it into something completely different.
I suppose this is all a metaphor for life, but right now I’m just blown again by my baguettes.
