What is it...to wash the dishes, clean a house, light a candle, pump a tire full of air, write a reminder, put away the clothes, and even make a bed. Do you we neatly stack our lives together to get by?
Why the cutters, the shapes, the things we do that put us together like a cookie cake, cookie slice, to conform our lives of how they should be lived?
SHOULD?
what a word!
neat.
clean.
stacked up.
put away.
hung up.
folded.
do we feel better? do you feel more sane inside that head that never stops ticking, not even when you close your eyes? To organize the THINGS that don’t even feel, see, touch, or love you, yet you have expressed, shown affection for these THINGS.
Do we take the time to revert to reflect -- on what is important, or the meaning of importance? Have we distorted, have you distorted, in your life of what,
OF WHAT the definition, the meaning, the beat of our lives, the importance
truly
vividly
is.

Interesting... We should talk more about this and other things
last night i was writing about how we find it so difficult to submit to God, and yet we daily submit ourselves to possesions, to concrete objects, to THINGS. and that was before i just now read your article discussing the same sort of thing... same page my friend... i will read it to you soon. i am really encouraged to read this blog!
i feel like i should locate myself in the "now" instead of the futuristic tense that will pass me by before i ever get a chance to actually "stack" my life up. and then push it all over reassuring myself that this is all i'm really here for.
Beyond this. Why do some find such aggression and confusion in the scatter of objects. How funny.
Things misplaced or misused can create an emotion as solid as love or death?
Objects define attitude?
Or is your attitude portrayed in the placement of objects?
