+<h2>Creating Things</h2>
+<p>
+    Creating things is something that my family has always held as something very important.
+    We tend to operate more on the building fixing side of things but there is something sacred in any act of creation.
+    I wrote about this feeling in <a href="/blog/mm">Midnight Musings</a> when I was unable to sleep.
+</p>
+<p>
+    I dabble.
+    I know that I won't make a website as beautiful as one that a design studio could.
+    I can't build furniture as well as a carpenter.
+    I don't write as beautifully as an author.
+    But I try to do all these things.
+</p>
+<p>
+    The quality of the output is sort of the point.
+    I certainly want to make anything as well as I possibly good.
+    If I am going to try and do it I want to try and do it well.
+    However if it was the only point then I would go to professionals for these sorts of things.
+    The point is the act of creating itself.
+    The objects wind up with a story.
+    And that magical thing that is a human touch.
+</p>
+<p>
+    With mechanised creation it is all to easy to make things that are essentially perfect.
+    No rough edges but also no character.
+    They fade into the background of life.
+    I use them and they work perfectly fine but I don't think about them the same way that I do my wallet say.
+    Which is from <a href="https://www.osleather.com">Open Sea Leather</a>.
+    Made by one person, I got to pick out the colours of the leather and the thread.
+    Every time I handle it I feel a small connection to the maker on the other end and and silently thank them for their work.
+</p>
+<p>
+    I feel that connection to my past self when I use things that I have made.
+    The younger Awstin with his excitement, and by definition knowing less than I know now.
+    I learned from that act of creation and could probably do much better the second time or more.
+    These things encompass so much more then what they are.
+</p>
+<p>
+    The old worn chestnut of journey over destination.
+    Cliche but does fit.
+    There is little value in just being somewhere or having something.
+    I guess what I am trying to say is that life, the depth of life for me is lived in stories.
+    What was and what could be.
+    Handmaking something gives it a story and thus a little spark of life.
+</p>

     Some thoughts on <a href="/garden/time">time</a>.
     I catch myself coming back to this subject pretty regularly.
 </p>
+
+<p>
+    I have been pondering a lot lately on the act of <a href="/garden/creation">creation</a> and of making things.
+    Getting more in touch with that as I have been tinkering more and more.
+    Building out the website for our wedding and other small projects.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+    I love to <a href="/garden/cooking">cook</a>, however very much hate recipe websites.
+    Too much extra stuff.
+    I want to build a place to store and share my recipes without any of that.
+    Will be added to the <a href="/garden/cooking">cooking</a> page when I get it set up.
+    For now it is just my thoughts on the activity.
+</p>
