Making Space










Camouflage in Bushey Park

The impact on my energy, on my psyche, of de-cluttering a cupboard stuffed with stationary, a shelf of old magazines, a table of files and papers is huge. I feel lighter, cleaner, clearer. Thanks to my dear sister who knows about these things...... and about picking up the next book, bowl, receipt, plastic bag, and choosing what to do with it NOW.....not tomorrow or later. 

 I suppose it's not all that strange that making space on my desk makes space in my mind and settles my heart. The only problem is that, like the washing up, keeping order is a never ending task. Which could keep me busy all year - encroaching on those spaces which I have yet to allocate for my real, imagined life.
