It was such an surprising moment was I was pulling the walls up. The clay was actually responding to what my hands wanted them to do. I remember being shocked even as it was happening. I still don't know what I did differently that time vs. all my past attempts. I've tried to replicate the experience, but unfortunately it hasn't been as easy as that time. I know I'm making slow progress and wish I were improving at a faster rate, but I'm glad that there are little magical moments like the one I just described that keep me motivated to stay in the game even though I'm not very good at the task.
