Suitcases…
Posted on | April 17, 2010 | 1 Comment
It was definitely time for a trip. A change of scenery. A change of pace. A step into an actual reality that was not of the written word. Might be a good idea. One can get lost in those things called words. She laughed quietly to herself. Sometimes, it was just far more pleasant to lose herself in a book or her writing, than to face the world. She suspected many people felt the same.
Actually, an overhaul of her current scenery would probably do a world of good. Some new paint, a little clean up and rearranging of the furniture (ok, a lot) and she might even feel as if she’d moved into a new home. The biggest problem was that her brain, being as wonderfully active and into itself as it was, liked to keep everything around it in its image. A cluttered state. Things. Lots of things. Things not in their place because there wasn’t even a place to begin with because there was too many of them. She often wondered how long she could actually stay in a Zen like room before having to make it a mess or go crazy.
It wasn’t as though she was all things material. It was also “sentimental” and “save the environmental” and sadly, often just “mental.” (Mental as in, this shopping will make me feel better today or I am on a slightly manic buying spree wheee!!!) It was indeed time to downsize some of her treasures and find them new homes. She hoped she would be able to start a little shop or if worst came to worst, hand a good portion over to Goodwill. She knew at least half of her clothing needed to go. She always wore the same stuff anyway.
Today was feeling like some kind of spring cleaning in the making….and she wanted to clean herself right out the door and let someone else do it for her because she didn’t want to deal with even the thought of it. Or maybe just hide under the covers. Or under the bed. No wait, there was no room under there.
So back to the suitcases she thought…and her trip. There wasn’t anywhere to go just yet. She would still be right there with herself no matter where she went…
