Pieces



I had these pieces of myself
I threw in a closet
And forgot about

And now I've scattered them
And laid them out

I gave away what wasn't mine
And kept the things that
I was suppose to find.

I laid it out there.
One piece at a time.
Each object a memory.

And yeah it was scary.
But we learned to take it in stride.

So close...

...yet so far.


It is down to the wire now. I have pushed my move date till tomorrow. I still have a room full of shit. I still need to figure out what shit I'm going to take with me to Austin.

I could look around here and think that I have accomplished nothing...but that just simply isn't true. I wanted to go back to Austin with just my clothes and my computer. Unfortunately, that seems almost impossible at this point.

Sometimes I think about Buddhist monks and I wonder where they develop the discipline to live simply.

I have never been one that was capable of making a decision and then immediately making it happen. Some people are capable of saying, I am moving and they move and that is it.

Me?

Everything is a process. I live deeply. I cannot help it. My curiosity causes me to explore everything in great detail and that in turn requires a vast amount of time. But time is relative, is it not? I have my whole life to get to where I am going and if I've learned anything this summer it's that that is ok. I am where I need to be. I will go where I need to go and there is an infinite amount of time.
