You are baking

Clear your mind. Take a breath. Focus on what you want to create.

Feel the cold of the eggs as you place them in a bowl of warm water.

Experience the butter as it slips through your fingers as you chop it into small pea-like pieces.

Your hands mix the flour and become one with the other dry ingredients.

Hear the slap of the butter against the mixer as it combines with the soft granules of sugar.

You are baking.
