Things made by hand
carry a certain energy.
No matter what,
the person who makes them
somehow comes through
in what they create.
That is why
I care so much
about keeping myself
in a good state.
My thoughts,
the food I eat,
the clothes I wear —
all of these things
matter to me.
As much as possible,
I want to choose things
that are good for my body,
and I want to make food
in a way that does not put
too much strain on myself.
I want to create
from a good place within me,
so that something gentle
can be passed on
when people eat
what I make.
If the meal can help someone
feel even just a little bit
relieved,
that would make me
truly happy.
