O K. DONE! This round of Brightening and Lightening. OK. And it's ended like it always does, having gone through the phase of how there is SO Much that i SHOULD/COULD do to finally, the point where suddenly .....it's Enough. And i'm done. All the thoughts of possibilities just fall, weightlessly like the petals of the Old Apricot's blossoms. Drift onto the earth then disappear.
The shelves, well, really, only one shelf, and then the floor there. This is where I crapped out. The will to be uhhhhh regular, normal, like most other people, just fell away as if i never imagined it. Poof as Jude says. In a single instant it was just gone, when the instant Before, i was painting the wall, or part of the wall, in the kitchen. I love how that happens.
This little cave place here holds all manner of what remains from a LifeTime of having Stuff. There's not a lot left. But there's This Much. Boxes of photographs, string, beads, tubes of oil paints, 2 sewing machines, uh...well....stuff. It's covered with a very nice layer of dust, which here, is really a kind of sand. Remembering that i live in Polvadera, which is Spanish for Nothing But Dust.
the far end and i did Windex the mirror
it's like this all the time. The What Was a rocking chair in front of that corner. Holding what else? than yet another basket of scraps.
Something RARE. THE table. the only table here. Which is never used as a table, as in how people sit at one to eat their meals....as it will be used tomorrow for me and Marti and her husband. We will eat together here. and then, as i just go, the thread basket, the needle/pin basket, the scrap basket will all return and .........
I remain Totally In Love with my clean and sparkling kitchen window....looking out and looking out because it's Raining and how wonder FULL it is to look out at the Rain World through this CLEAR window.
