The satisfaction? The joy? That comes from solving problems and making things.

[There is a] quiet glory [in] merely making things, and then sharing those things with an open heart and no expectations.

I suppose I was artistic as a child. Our house was so full of art and artists that it never occurred to me not to be constantly making things. I just assumed that all kids liked to work with their hands as much as I did. I was an only child so I did have a lot of time to be creative by myself and with my parents.
