understanding the journey is never
really possible barring resting knowing ease
not about momentum forward or
back but about the moment and being in it
chaos of bathroom dumped in
kitchen besieged daily pickup move trip soon over
the domestic overwhelms whilst
giving small satisfactions in each step made
New shower enclosure works
well room to move around and sit if needs be. No more hauling myself over the
bath side or falling out. Shower needed some adjusting, certainly woke me up
with its ice cold flow, builders came back and accessed thermostat control now
hot water flows. Lighting still needs some help exploring alternatives.
Began to collect and tie up all
cardboard and other recyclable materials from recent builders work plan trip to
tip this coming week.
So want to do something other
than cottage ‘remodel’ but know this is what I need to be doing for that
something to be more than fleeting play.
Books in the post arrived ,
A poem from Dennis O’Driscoll
called You was the poem that found me today.
LOVE the bathroom!
'You' a tad dark, but who can argue with his exhorting us to accept the human condition and ' be ourselves'.
"you it is who gets up every morning
in your skin, . . . . you dreading,
you hoping, you regretting, you interloping."
