bits of matter

It is Spring and I'm feeling it. I am more ready than ever to clean the closets and dig out those skeletons and wipe clean the cobwebs. I want the windows open, and the breeze cleaning out all this stale air. I want to dig my bare hands into dirt and anticipate the tomatoes.

Most honestly, I want to give away all my stuff except what I can carry on my back and hike out into the wilderness, clear and free of all that distracts and bogs down.

Of course, I say that while nibbling on ice cream and clicking away at my laptop. But, someday, I will have the courage to live truly simply. In the meantime, I am committed to slowly prying bits of selfish matter out of my own hands until they open up and that breeze is flying through.
