Potters believe the image or sculpture already exists in the clay they mold. Their hands bring to life what is already present. The person each of us is called to be in life is within us from birth waiting to be sculpted by the Master’s hands.

She discovers, early in childhood, the inner light of the Master that guides her through her darkest days and finds happiness where most people could not imagine.

Life can be an amazing and joyful journey in the molding of you and me!

The Molding of Me

Skeens, Ruth

He and I were formed long ago with one singular soul to share. Then, after a millennium of waiting amongst the stars, we were given bodies, forged from the sacred river on a heavenly planet called Aether. We were the first Angels, born to lead the humans to their maximum potential on behalf of the five omniscient gods of Heaven. For many centuries the universe let us live in bliss - but the son of the gods had a different plan in mind, splitting our soul in half. I was exiled to live in Darkness while he was allowed to stay in the Light. But times have changed since then, and the humans no longer hold the honor that they once did. Their sun was dying and with the Angels stripped of all their powers centuries prior, it was time for the mutations to do what they no longer could;save humanity. They think that I've forgotten what they've done - that I stopped playing their precious little game. But this is far from over and they don't get to win this time. I was an Angel once and they killed my Light - then I fell to Fallax and now I am as Dark as night.

Great swaths of the clouds blanketed the land. Uncontainable winds raced to rip across Durasia, sweeping the darkness in every direction. The now billowing fog reached the city and tore through it, waking every man, woman, and child A twisted king has stolen the people’s humanity. The most disturbing thing was that every person had coal black eyes. I pulled myself together and looked away from the faces. “What does this mean?” “It means that they were right, the human race isn’t human anymore.” I am harboring a secret that could save them all…. “Look.” I said pointing to my reflection in the pool. She gasped. Her reflection was unchanged, but mine was different. The liquid showed me practically glowing. My skin was flushed with a pale blue light that seemed to be vibrating. Destiny is calling me.
