Meditative Mushrooms for Monday
/I am still working on the house, cleaning and boxing and purging. After posting this I will be downstairs moving boxes closer to the door to take to recycling and Salvation Army or Goodwill. I need to take knick knacks off of shelves and move some of my things to the garage. I’ve posted ads on craigslist for a couple of things, but I would really like to just open the doors for an estate sale or have the Salvation Army truck back up to the door and load it all up. This, of course, is a lesson to me to travel lightly. We don’t need nearly as much as we have.
And I am getting rid of my own stuff, too. Part of the issue is that I don’t know where I’m going from here, so I don’t know what to do about furniture. I think selling the house is the right thing to do, but then what? Put what I’ve kept in storage and go to Italy or France for a month? Purchase a house in the Ohio Valley? Rent? Go to Oregon and retrieve the rest of my belongings? I do have to do that. But will I stay there? More meditation is in order.
These mushrooms have been in my camera since October, and I don’t know why I didn’t download them. There is something very “still-life-y” about them, and they are calming my mind today. Though they were taken in the yard, I feel the woods, the cool, quiet woods with soft earth created by and covered with damp leaves that don’t crinkle but muffle.
