24Mar Something happened while I was tidying up
On 1 March, I decided to declutter my living and working space. Actually, I didn’t decide- I was in such an emotional mess that I HAD to do something to offload all the tension. So I took down every book, every piece of paper, every file, every magazine in the house and started “tidying” up. I ripped up wads of papers. I flung magazines across rooms- only to follow them and fling them back to their original location- and repeat.
I moved heavy boxes of books from one rooom to another and then to another and then another. I sat sometimes, in the midst of all the papers and books, overwhelmed by what I had started. Then I would push things off a part of the bed- and sleep.
I woke up on some days and went for long bicycle rides. On some afternoons I would put everything down and head out on foot. I remember one day taking a six hour walk. I was so tired when I came back that the moment I lay on my bed I went out like a light bulb that’s been hit by a brick.
Yesterday, I finally finished. Three weeks of “decluttering”. What a work out. Three weeks of getting over Venekera Works. Everything seems so much cleaner- and clearer- now.
All of a sudden I have a thousand ideas in my head. All of a sudden I know that the future will work.
