Brothers and sisters, We have to stop building shrines around our children's teeth, late grandpappies' trusses, and departed dogs' wooden legs!
We have nothing if not the future, and, if we set forth with sacks of buttons, bags of magazines, and boxes of false teeth, we will weigh ourselves down, tire ourselves out and fall far short of our goals. Brothers and sisters, the time has come to unburden ourselves; to run like naked sprites in the woods; untethered and unbound. We need to feel the lightness and nimbleness of our unadorned bodies as we leap and frolic in freedom's breeze. We need to realise that all that we are is encapsulated in the earthly frames we call our bodies. All the other bits and pieces are called BAGGAGE, and baggage has never set anybody free. Shake loose the heavy shackles that bind, brothers and sisters. Cast off that heavy coat and let the sun caress your contours. Drop those suitcases and rake your fingers through grass and leaves; through someone's hair. Trail them through water. Put down those chests and boxes, stretch out your tired fingers and strum the strings of guitar; kneed a wet ball of clay. But most importantly, use your hands and arms as instruments of love. Hug, embrace and caress, for this is the true purpose of your arms and hands; not as hooks for luggage. When your time on this earth is over, your children won't remember your accumulated garbage - let them remember the warm imprint of your arms enfolded around them. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Journey from clutter List Website http://journeyfromclutter.com Members Only Page http://journeyfromclutter.com/MembersOnly/MembersArea.htm Unsubscribe: email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'unsubscribe' in the 'Subject:' field to be removed from the main list.
