Dirty dishes
The fundament seems to be so unstable but, as the book said, if I can open my mind to the bigger picture, if I can let go of the little things (they are mostly little things) then I will be the better off. I can listen to the talk about football, and tell my anecdote about getting stuck in a police cordon, accidentally. And I can listen to the laughter and get the dishes done.
It is in the tides and times that I heard said a good book can make you feel cleverer than you are, and I thought there is a lot more to it than that. Oh how I love to see people doing the things I would love to do but am to self consciou to attempt. Things that are brave and things that are not much more than a happenstance. Things that I have attempted over the years when I've been smashed, and usually not been successful. For now I will let the things rest in your imagination but be assured, not all of them involve nudity.
