The
very first step in the process of making a vessel
on the potter's wheel is called “Centering”.
That means that the hands of the potter press into
the lump of spinning clay so that every particle
of clay is moved and realigned, no longer struggling
against the hands but freely spinning under the
hands of the potter “at rest”. This is true surrender,
peace with God, the Potter. No vessel can be made
unless it is first centered. No life can start its
journey in finding its purpose unless it is first
surrendered to the One who made it, the Father

This lump of clay that is centered is made
of clay that is just the right consistency. It has
no lumpy areas of resistance, no hidden air pockets,
no harder spots, but is consistent all the way through,
and is very responsive to the Potter's touch. It is
now ready to be pressed into for the next stage in
its making, Opening.
